Every parent has a story from their child’s ‘terrible twos’ phase, from an epic meltdown in the middle of a supermarket to a full plate of food being thrown at the wall. Transformational coach and education tutor Samantha Dholakia is the guest on today’s Facebook and LinkedIn live chat with Elizabeth and is here to give a range of tips to guide you through your toddler’s terrible twos without you going into a meltdown, too.
Sam tells Elizabeth about her background and the services she offers parents, including her Mumechi coaching programme for mothers. She unpacks why toddlers behave erratically by explaining how their brains are developing, and she offers advice on how to effectively communicate with your young child. You’ll hear her explain why you need to talk to your kids about their emotions and how to discuss your feelings in a relatable way. Sam also walks Elizabeth through her daily routine, showing her how to find time for herself, even when caring for her son.
This live chat will change how you think about your child’s toddler years and is full of helpful advice and strategies you can apply to your daily routine. If you learnt something, please share this video with a fellow parent of young children to help them out.
