Feeling overwhelmed by tantrums, sleep struggles, hitting, and potty training? In this groundbreaking quick-reference guide, toddler expert Devon Kuntzman provides the recipe for effective, healthy discipline to help your child finally listen and to make parenting so much easier.

Toddlerhood does not have to be terrible.  Yes, sometimes it feels terrible, but it’s actually one of the most important developmental stages of your child’s life! Many of the behaviors labeled as “bad” are actually totally normal, so how you respond matters. It sets the foundation for your child’s resilience, emotional regulation, and sense of self. Many parents want to do the right thing but are at a loss for how to discipline their children in an effective, developmentally smart way, and most parenting books gloss over this formative stage.

Enter Devon Kuntzman, PCC, a globally recognized toddler expert and the original toddler parenting coach on Instagram. Devon is one of the leading voices redefining what it means to parent kids ages one to five. Drawing from her years of experience helping tens of thousands of families worldwide, Devon has created the ultimate parenting manual you wish came with your toddler.

In Transforming Toddlerhood, you’ll find bite-sized chapters packed with actionable advice, toddler tips, red flags, and easy-to-use scripts to respond effectively to everyday shenanigans. From understanding what’s driving your child’s behavior to surviving tantrums and encouraging independence, Devon gives you the tools to set clear, respectful limits while staying patient and teaching essential life skills.
