The toddler and preschool years can be really challenging to navigate.

Congrats – you’re a new parent! Welcome to the most difficult job you will ever have – parenthood. You begin your parenting journey and you diligently do your job tending to your baby: making sure they eat, sleep, poop, repeat. (and not necessarily in that order!) Babies’ needs are pretty straightforward.
There’s definitely an adjustment, but after a few months you think:
“Hey – I got this parenting thing down!”
Then toddlerhood hits and the game totally changes. Now your child is mobile, has an opinion, and leaves a mess of stuff behind him like a tornado…
You often wonder and worry:
- Is it normal for him to be such a picky eater? How do I get him to eat a healthy meal that isn’t nugget shaped?
- How do I instill self esteem from a young age?
- I’m running out of ideas for what I can do with her… what can we do besides the park or library?
- Is he developing on schedule?
- How do I make sure I hire great childcare?
- When do I transition to a toddler bed?
- How in the world am I going to potty train this kid?
- Is this fever serious? Should I take her to the doctor?
- Is my home safe for my toddler-tornado?
- How do I effectively discipline without yelling?
- These time outs don’t seem to be working… how else can I get him to listen without having to yell?
- Why does my home look like a bomb hit a majority of the time…how do I stay organized amidst all of this chaos?
- What about me? How do I effectively take care of myself and my family at the same time?
- I feel so disconnected from my spouse… now what?
- etc
- etc
- etc (if your brain is anything like mine this list could go on for pages and pages and pages….)
Toddlers and preschoolers are growing, developing, and changing constantly and they’re also still very dependent on their parents for most of their needs. That’s a lot of hard work as a parent!
And somehow we feel like we’re supposed to have all of the answers and keep it all together while making sure our homes look immaculate and hosting Pinterest-perfect themed birthday parties. All on our own.
