The Truth About Toddler Tantrums

4 Jun 2025 · 35 min

You’ve been told tantrums are bad behavior. That your kid is “too much.” That if they’re melting down in the grocery store, you’re doing something wrong. Let’s burn that narrative to the ground.

In this raw, science-backed, and radically honest episode, Kristin and Deena unpack the real reason tantrums happen (spoiler: it’s not defiance), why old-school discipline tactics are failing our kids—and ourselves—and what to do instead.

We’re breaking generational cycles, regulating in the cereal aisle, and raising kids who don’t have to unlearn their feelings.

This isn’t just parenting. It’s a revolution.
