You can absolutely change your child’s entire trajectory — even if all you have is 20 minutes a day.
Because it isn’t about doing more… it’s about doing the right things.
✨ One focused play routine
✨ Tiny brain-backed tweaks in the routines you already do
✨ Strategy woven into mealtime, getting dressed, bath time, cleanup, bedtime

Decades of research all say the same thing:
Intentionally wired moments = a child who copes, thinks, connects, and grows differently.
This is how everyday routines become a complete game-changer for ages 1–5. 💛

Tantrums aren’t the problem.
They’re the signal.

Movement
Sensory processing
Emotional development
Communication
Regulation

When even one of these is shaky, tantrums get louder + more frequent.

Strengthen the system → the behavior transforms.
Every. Single. Time.

Parents tell me all the time: “I wish someone explained this sooner.”
So here is me explaining it sooner. ♥️

12/04/2025

Every “big behavior” has a story underneath it.
And it’s never just that your child is “being difficult.”

Their brain is still learning how to:
• organize sensory input
• process emotions
• communicate clearly
• move their body in a regulated way
• shift between activities

When ANY of those systems are unsteady, behavior becomes the overflow.

So instead of focusing on the meltdown itself, I help parents understand what’s driving it.

Because once you strengthen the systems underneath?
→ Coping improves.
→ Communication grows.
→ Transitions get easier.
→ Tantrums lose their intensity.
→ Your child feels safer in their own body.

It’s never too late to build a stronger foundation.

If it feels like your child immediately jumps into a tantrum the moment something doesn’t go their way…

Some adults assume it’s personality.
Or stubbornness.
Or “testing the limits.”
But the real reason is something far more surprising:

👉 Your child is operating from one single, undeveloped brain framework:
“I want something → I don’t get it → my body overwhelms → meltdown.”

It’s not misbehavior.
It’s not manipulation.
It’s not defiance.
It’s development.

And here’s the game changer:

You can replace that framework with the actual brain frameworks toddlers are meant to use at ages 1–5.
When you do?
You don’t just get fewer tantrums — you get new skills entirely:

✨ Less reactivity
✨ More cooperation
✨ Smoother transitions
✨ Better regulation
✨ A child who can read and respond to your cues
✨ A calmer, easier home

Because tantrums don’t disappear with discipline…
They disappear with developmental frameworks that match how the child brain actually grows.

If you want to teach these frameworks step-by-step, I made you a free mini-course.

DM CALM and I’ll send it straight to you. 🤍

Tantrums don’t fade on their own…
but the skills that replace them can be built in just 20 minutes a day — if you’re using brain-backed play strategies.

A daily play routine only works when you use techniques that actually support the way your child’s brain develops.
When you do, everything changes.

Your child starts building:
✔️ Cooperation
✔️ Problem-solving
✔️ Thinking ahead
✔️ Idea-sharing

These skills grow in play… and then show up in real life.
That’s how the brain rewires.
That’s how tantrums shrink.

Use the right strategies → the whole home shifts. ✨

If every day feels like a power struggle with your little one…
you’re not imagining it — and you’re not doing anything wrong. ❤️‍🩹

Most parents think these battles happen because their child is “strong-willed,” “testing them,” or “not listening.”
But the truth is more surprising:

👉 Your toddler is operating from a regulation-based brain framework
— not a behavior problem.

And here’s the part no one tells you:

⭐ YOU can introduce a new framework that changes everything.
⭐ And it works quickly — because it matches how the 1–5 year old brain actually develops.

When you shift from:
❌ reacting in the moment
❌ negotiating
❌ explaining
❌ raising demands

to a developmentally aligned approach like:
✨ Regulation-first processing
✨ Predictable boundary architecture
✨ Demand matching
✨ Connection-based cooperation
✨ Rapid repair

…your child’s entire stress-response system reorganizes.

Fewer battles.
Shorter tantrums.
More cooperation.
A calmer home.
A more confident YOU.

You’re not trying to “win” a power struggle.
You’re teaching a brand-new brain framework your child has never been given before.
And once they learn it?
Everything gets easier — for both of you. 🤍

If you want the science-backed steps to introduce this framework at home, DM CALM and I’ll send it your way.

You deserve relief.
Your little one deserves support.
And this gets to feel easier.

Understanding child brain development and using that knowledge in our approach to tantrums is EVERYTHING

So many parenting techniques and scripts sound lovely and nice in theory but do not work in practice because it's not working with child-brain development.

When we're dealing with tantrums, there are SO many nuances we need to consider to tap in to where the child's at and to help get them to a place of calm 😌

This is doable and actually once you learn it for your child's unique style -- even easy!

Let's get started. DM CALM

If you’ve ever felt like tantrums were taking over your home… this is the story I wish someone told me years ago.

When I became an SLP, I thought helping little ones talk would be all language milestones, cute moments, and steady progress.

But the thing no one prepared me for?

Tantrums were stopping everything.
Big emotions. Meltdowns. Spiraling.
Suddenly every session became about survival, not communication.

Parents were frustrated.
I was frustrated.
And the techniques I was taught only made the emotional moments bigger.

I kept thinking: “Something is missing.”

My story is how I became the tantrum guide I once needed. 🫶🏻
