Applied Toddler Parenting: Siblings, Special Situations, and the Long Arc

Applied toddler parenting addresses sibling dynamics, special situations, and the transition into early childhood. This applied course teaches integrated reasoning through case-based modules. By the end of this course you will be able to handle sibling dynamics including conflict and comparison, navigate special situations including major changes, adapt as your toddler grows, and sustain the practice into early childhood. What you will learn: - Approaches to sibling conflict including supporting rather than judging - Approaches to special situations including travel, family changes, and illness - Approaches to specific patterns including aggression and regression after change - Approaches to coordinating with childcare on consistent discipline - Approaches to the transition from toddler to preschool years - Approaches to handling differences in temperament and energy - Approaches to your own well-being and partnership through these years The course is structured around six applied modules. Each produces a written artifact: a siblings plan, a special situations framework, a specific patterns response, a caregiver coordination plan, a transition plan, and a long-arc reflection. This course is written for parents thinking across the long arc of toddlerhood. By the end you will have moved from day-by-day reactivity to a sustained approach.
