Cracking the Code: Toddler Behavior 101

Devon Kutzman

Description

What’s really going on beneath the tantrums, hitting, and endless “no’s”? Join toddler parenting expert Devon Kuntzman for a down-to-earth conversation that breaks down toddler behavior in a way that makes sense — and gives you tools you can actually use.

Devon shares her approach to navigating toddlerhood with more clarity, less chaos, and a lot more connection. Together, we talk about:

  • Understanding your toddler’s behavior as communication
  • Handling tantrums and big emotions with more calm
  • Setting boundaries without the power struggles
  • Responding to aggression like hitting, biting, or screaming
  • Knowing when behavior might be a red flag
  • Encouraging independence while still offering support

You’ll also hear answers to real parent questions, plus simple, practical strategies to make everyday challenges feel more manageable.

This is for you if you’ve ever ended a day thinking, “There has to be a better way…” — because there is. And this session is full of guidance to help you find it.
