Summary

The toddler years don’t have the best reputation, and it’s time to reframe the narrative. Christine talks with Devon Kuntzman about using positive, effective, and developmentally appropriate tools to nurture development and foster connection with kids. Devon and Christine talk about how to navigate the adult baggage that inherently informs our parenting, reframing expectations, discipline, and more. This episode is anchored in toddlerhood but so many of the lessons extend through the longer parenting runway. Edit Your Life is an award-winning podcast that offers tips, recommendations, and expert advice to simplify and declutter your home, schedule, to-do list, relationships, and mental space.
