If you're knee-deep in the toddler era or gearing up to enter it, this week's episode is for you! While the terrible twos may have garnered a bad reputation, there's no denying that the transition from babyhood to toddlerhood brings about significant changes. That's why we've enlisted the expertise of Dr. Cathryn Tobin, a seasoned Pediatrician with over 30 years of experience.

Dr. Tobin wears many hats – she's a mother of four, Host of the podcast "Toddlers Made Easy," and she runs the popular Instagram account @Healthiest_Baby with over 1 million followers! Her insights have been invaluable to many parents, and today we'll talk about taming tantrums and addressing behaviors like hitting, biting, throwing, whining, public meltdowns and more. Join us as we explore how to navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of toddlerhood and emerge with our sanity intact!
