5.20: Toddler Negotiations 101: Why They’re Winning & We’re Losing (Tantrums, Power Struggles + Chaos)
Description
This week, Amanda & Jessie are breaking down a universal truth: toddlers run the house.
Welcome to Toddler Negotiations 101, a survival guide for moms losing arguments to humans who think socks are optional and ketchup is spicy.
We’re answering:
• Why are toddlers THIS good at negotiating?
• Who gave them this much confidence??
• Do they accept “no” as a challenge?
• Were WE this unhinged as kids, or is this new chaos?
Plus our real-life daily battles:
• Snack wars
• Car seat stiff-as-a-board mode
• Outfit meltdowns
• Screen-time bartering
• The “I want it—NO I DON’T!” loop
• Toddlers changing their minds mid-sentence
And our “expert” pointers (aka survival tips):
• Fake choices (until they stop working)
• Bribery IS parenting
• Distraction magic
• Lower-the-bar wins
• Picking your battles
• Tag-teaming with your partner
• Keeping snacks for YOUR sanity
And of course… your toddler negotiation confessions.
If you’ve ever found yourself debating with someone who eats crayons, this episode is for you.
