113: Repair Over Perfection: Raising Emotionally Resilient Toddlers with Devon from Transforming Toddlerhood.

What if the secret to raising confident, emotionally resilient toddlers isn’t about getting it right all the time — but what we do after things go wrong?

In this heartwarming and honest conversation, I sit down with Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood and the original toddler parenting coach on Instagram, to talk about the power of repair over perfection.

Together we explore: Why parents feel so much pressure to be perfect — and how the brain science shows that it’s the repair moments that truly matter How rupture and repair wire your child’s brain for resilience and emotional intelligence The powerful role of repair in reducing shame (for both parents and kids) Real-life examples of what repair sounds like after yelling, meltdowns, or power struggles Why giving ourselves permission to be human is the key to raising secure, strong kids

Devon also shares insights from her brand-new book, Transforming Toddlerhood, which is packed with practical tools, encouragement, and a fresh, empowering perspective for parents in the thick of toddler life. If you’ve ever worried that you’re messing it up — this episode is your reminder that every moment of repair is a chance to reconnect and grow together.
