AS SEEN IN:

Feeling overwhelmed… and wondering if it’s just you?

✔️ Everyday moments turn into battles—getting dressed, mealtimes, leaving the house, even potty time.

✔️ You want to stay patient, but tantrums, meltdowns, and endless negotiations wear you down.

✔️ You feel embarrassed by your child’s behavior—and ashamed for feeling that way.

✔️ You know these early years matter, but you’re unsure how to make the most of them—and worried you’re missing your chance.

After 40 Years as a Pediatrician, Here's What I Know To Be True:

Your toddler isn't giving you a hard time—they're having a hard time.

I'm Dr. Cathryn—pediatrician, midwife, parenting author, and mom of four who raised 4 kids without yelling (well...mostly) or bribing.

I've helped over 1.2 million parents on Instagram with pocket-sized advice that cuts through the chaos.

No tricks or hacks—just understanding how toddler brains work.

When you understand why they act the way they do, everything shifts. You feel calmer. Your child feels safer. And you actually enjoy these crazy, awesome years.

It’s the reason I created the Big-Hearted School Of Parenting — for you 

 

Most parents do what they've been told is "gentle":

👉 They validate the feeling — "I know you're sad…"

👉 Then they set a limit and try to hold it — "But I won't let you jump on the table." 

Sounds great in theory, right?

But here's the problem: gentle parenting assumes toddlers can think their way through big emotions.

They can't.

A dysregulated toddler's brain goes offline — so the boundary you're trying to set gets lost or turns into exhausting negotiations.

Big-Hearted Parenting works WITH your toddler's developing brain, not against it. 

We don't just expect a toddler to do what we've asked. We know their brain is busy growing. We set the limit and realize, sometimes kids just need help moving along.

Instead of: "I won't let you jump on the table." (hoping they'll listen) . . .

. . . you calmly step in and say: "Your body wants to jump! This looks fun — let's jump on the floor instead." (while gently but firmly helping them down) 

This isn't being "soft" — it's being smart. You're lending them your regulated nervous system while their brain develops.

Bedtime in Under 30 Minutes

Every time you guide your child through a moment like this, you're actually building their future self-calming skills.

When gentle guidance meets resistance, stay calm and consistent: "I can see you need my help with this" — and move them along.

Pro tip: Catch it early. This approach works best before the full meltdown hits.

It's immediate guidance over endless negotiations. 

The result? Dressed and out the door in one try. Bedtime in under 30 minutes. 

Because when you work with how toddlers are actually wired — everything shifts.

The Potty Party

START STRONG, STRESS LESS! 🎉 🎊

Let’s Ditch the Pressure and Cue the Confidence

🧻 A big-hearted, step-by-step way to kick off potty training (even if your toddler shows no “readiness signs” yet)

This workshop flips the script—so you can stop waiting for signs of readiness and start prepping for the big day.
 No fighting. No sticker charts. Just a proven, pediatrician-backed method that works.

💫 LEARN:

  • Spot the real green lights (and gentle red lights) so you know when it’s go-time—or when to keep dancing in diapers a little longer.

  • Just like any great party, prep makes the magic happen. These 5 steps will help your toddler build body awareness and curiosity without pressure.

  • From first sits to first accidents, we’ll cover how to begin in a way that’s respectful, playful, and empowering—for both of you.

The Tantrum Crash Course

Ready for fewer, shorter, and way easier tantrums?

This mini-class goes beyond managing meltdowns. You'll learn how to support your toddler through big feelings and teach the skills they need to handle frustration, impulse control, and emotional regulation — the building blocks for lifelong confidence and connection.

Imagine how this could feel...

✅ Bedtime takes 20 minutes, not 2 hours — end the "one more story" negotiations

✅ Get out the door without screaming matches over shoes, coats, or car seats

✅ Meltdowns last 3 minutes instead of 30 — you'll know exactly when to step in

✅ Your child uses words like "I'm frustrated" instead of throwing toys at their sibling

✅ You stay calm when they're losing it — no more yelling back or feeling guilty later

✅ Public tantrums don't make you want to hide — you'll have a clear game plan for grocery store meltdowns
