Why Toddlers Can't Control Their Big Feelings

Описание: Why does a tiny frustration turn into a massive meltdown in seconds? 🧠 In this video, Dr. Amit (GP) explains the biological difference between Frustration, Anger, and Fear in the developing brain. We explore why the toddler's Prefrontal Cortex (logical brain) cannot handle big emotions yet, and why they need your "Co-Regulation" to return to calm.

Every big feeling your toddler has starts from a calm place, but understanding and navigating these can be challenging. This video explores common toddler tantrums and toddler behavior patterns, offering insights into their emotional world. We discuss how to foster emotional intelligence and support healthy child development through effective parenting tips, helping parents guide their children through various emotional experiences. 🧠💖
