Publisher's summary

If you are the parent of a toddler or preschooler, chances are you know a thing or two about tantrums. While those epic meltdowns can certainly be part of "normal" toddler behavior, they are still maddening, stressful, and exhausting - for everyone involved. What can you do to keep your cool and help your child calm down? Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, child psychologist and mother of two, has a unique understanding of both the science behind tantrums and what works in the heat of the moment to nip blowups in the bud. With her customizable plan, you'll learn:

  • Why your toddler's developing brain is hardwired for "big emotions".
  • What you may be doing (unintentionally) to encourage outbursts.
  • Ways to use structure and routines to help your child feel secure.
  • How to reduce tantrums at tough times of day, from wake-up to bedtime.
  • Strategies for managing tantrums under difficult circumstances, from travel to moving to divorce.
  • Ways to deepen your parent-child connection-starting right now.

Must Read!

Thank you to the author of this wonderful book; I was shocked to see that it was free on audible and I would have paid to listen to it. The amount of relief and understand that I received from listening to this book and the immediate improvement that is taking place between my daughter and I is nothing short of a godsend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Very helpful in understanding tantrums and what to avoid

The multiple scenarios about what could cause a tantrum were very helpful. Understanding these can help reduce their frequency and severity

So helpful!

This book was so helpful in giving me straightforward strategies to approach my very intelligent toddler’s meltdowns. Thus far, he is responding so well to the action steps and having the knowledge behind what’s going on, more understanding of myself in those moments, and steps to diffuse situations has helped immensely. I have already recommended this book to so many!

A must for anyone with small children

This book saved my life. It was so helpful for me. I found it clear and easy to understand. My only regret is that I did not read this book sooner.

Completely worth it

Before this book, daughter was throwing tantrums six times a day every day. Just a few tweaking of myself, we are now living in InSync life with hardly any tantrums anymore
