Is My Toddler Manipulating Me? (TMB78)
Do you have a toddler that is very emotional? Perhaps she will freak out at times, become shaky and difficult to console. Maybe she always seems to have a need to be in control, questioning everything, and challenging all of your decisions. While this may seem like a child’s attempt to manipulate, it could be rooted in something a little more serious, such as anxiety.
In this episode, Dr. Berney talks about the way that anxiety could be influencing your toddler’s behaviors and emotions. He provides insight and strategies for managing these challenging and often difficult to read situations.
