359- Toddlers Aren’t Terrible: Understanding the Why Behind Big Behaviors with Devon Kuntzman

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I’m joined by Devon Kuntzman, toddler expert and author of Transforming Toddlerhood.
Devon and I dig into the beautiful chaos of the toddler years—what’s developmentally normal, what we often mislabel as “bad behavior,” and how we can meet kids where they are, not where we wish they were. We talk about boundaries, temperament, and why embracing imperfection might just be your parenting superpower.
Whether you’re deep in the toddler trenches or supporting someone who is, this conversation is full of permission, perspective, and practical tools.
Alright folks, let’s dive in.
