How to handle toddler tantrums & discour...

Dr. Jazmine
About this episode

So your toddler keeps whining, crying, and pleading without despite how much you're trying to explain and validate their feelings.

No matter what you say, though, they KEEP whining and crying. 😓

It’s exhausting to keep repeating myself but then you feel guilty for ignoring him after a while.

In this 8-min episode, I’ll discuss how to approach these situations mentally and practically. How to interpret this behavior and what to say and do.
