About this listen

Realistic, expert-tested guidance to raise caring, capable toddlers without yelling, shaming, or giving in

The toddler years are full of big feelings, rapid growth, and endless discoveries—for kids and parents alike. With so much change happening at once, everyday routines can easily devolve into meltdowns and power struggles. Licensed psychologist and mother of three Zoe Chiel, PhD understands the joys and challenges of raising young children ages 2 to 5. Drawing on both clinical expertise and real-life experience, she offers a compassionate and realistic toolkit to help busy parents stay connected and confident through it all.

Grounded in authoritative parenting (sometimes called positive, gentle, or respectful parenting), Dr. Chiel’s empowering approach teaches parents how to balance their warmth and connection with clear, consistent boundaries. Instead of relying on fear-based discipline, Practical Guide to Toddler Parenting provides customizable strategies and ready-to-use scripts that support a stronger parent-child bond—even on days when patience feels hard to come by.
