I have one toddler who I really feel like I have no idea how to parent. I’m not coping with all the mischief he does and how difficult he has become. I tried reading parenting books but it’s not working with him. I just need someone to hear me out , tell me what’s normal and give me advice how to deal with him. Every day I feel like crying because I just can’t deal with his behavior. Help!
There are some Imas on here who I really respect and like their common sense but feel weird messaging out of the blue.

Maybe keep it an open discussion here and those moms will chime in. Do you have specific questions?

Same here but have a toddler so if you want someone in the same stage I’ll be happy to help you troubleshoot (no pun intended;) )

Nothing in the world beats a mother’s intuition. Nothing.

Was going to say the exact same things. I
only heard her once my kids were coming out of toddlerhood and I so wish I would have known about her when they were born!!

I have read some of her articles and theories. Is there something specific I should listen to? I don’t do well with auditory, I do much better reading...

I'm a mom of 3 and an early childhood educator, feel free to pm. And don't beat yourself up, the toddler stages can be just plain difficult. Parenting sometimes feels like an uphill battle. Kudos to you for reaching out for support!

She has a book
Janet lansbury- no bad kids: Toddler discipline without shame
I never actually read it -rather, I prefer her podcasts and articles. Life changing for me.

My hunch is that, in addition to practical tips, you'd benefit from someone who can reparent the toddler in you. This time you get to choose who helps you parent the toddler in you, whereas 20 years ago you were not given any options other than your parents.

My short answer is kids will be kids. Allow them to be kids and be okay with them being kids. Pick your battles and take a timeout when you need.
My oldest son (not first) was a really difficult toddler
He is now such a gentle caring bigger boy.I keep that in mind as I watch my little kids be kids.
We instill values and role model, they grow up hopefully to be happy responsible adults.
