The toddler phase is a whirlwind of laughter mixed with cries, silly antics paired with questionable hygiene choices, and moments of urging your little one to speak to Grandma while simultaneously pleading for a moment’s peace from the noise. For those who’ve ever critiqued another parent’s decisions, the toddler years are a humbling experience—every parent quickly realizes that there isn’t a single right approach to managing a toddler, as different strategies may work depending on the child and the day.
