What I learned shocked me:











Feeling like your child hates you and you're failing as a parent
Walking on eggshells, afraid to set off another 3-hour tantrum
Dreading going anywhere public because of potential meltdowns
Feeling completely alone because "nothing works" for your family
Being exhausted and ground-down from trying every gentle parenting technique
Your partner avoiding conversations about the tantrums because they're so draining

Your child seeking YOU out for comfort when they're upset
Confident handling of any meltdown, knowing exactly what to do and when
Actually enjoying outings because you know how to prevent and handle public tantrums
Feeling supported by a system that actually works for "difficult" toddlers
Having energy for your family again instead of being drained by constant battles
Working as a team with your partner using strategies you both understand and trust
