It’s a proven scientific fact that a toddler will engage you in approximately 57 billion power struggles every day<\/em>. At least half of those power struggles will set off epic toddler tantrums<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s just the power struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That doesn’t even account for all the other instances of that special<\/strong> brand of fun they bring to your day, like when they color on your carpet with a Sharpie<\/a>, unlace all your shoelaces and re-tie them with 20 knots, or swallow a dime<\/a> that gets stuck in their throat and requires a $25,000 surgery to remove. (Ask me how I know.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some days, parenting a toddler feels a bit like navigating a field of landmines, while balancing a tray of full champagne glasses on one hand and wearing boots three sizes too big…with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quick win:<\/strong> Need a quick fix that will help you ease power struggles with your toddler?
