Episode Q&A: 3-Year-Old Fighting Bedtime and Toddler Throwing Explained
Bedtime was easy… until it wasn’t. And suddenly your 3-year-old is fighting sleep, stalling, crying — and maybe even climbing out of the crib.
In this Q&A episode, I answer two common parent questions:
#1. Why a great sleeper suddenly starts resisting bedtime at age 3 #2. Why toddlers throw things — and how to respond calmly and effectively
We’ll talk about sleep changes, dropping naps, big transitions (like a new sibling or starting school), and what throwing really means and how to stop it.
