Biting at 18 months and a 3-year-old who won't leave the park open this live Q&A with Amy Williams for educators and caregivers of young children. Other questions include a toddler upset when his train comes off the track, and a calm corner for big feelings. The last part is about grown-ups who disagree on how to handle a child's behavior, and the rules we grew up with.
