Toddlers exist at an awkward stage of development: they can’t really express themselves, they don’t know what’s best for their health, but they enjoy a sense of budding independence, leading them to challenge and test their parent’s limits. Dr. Laura Jana, pediatrician and author of The Toddler Brain: Nurture the Skills Today that Will Shape Your Child’s Tomorrow, discusses the challenges of parenting and raising children, the importance of creating and maintaining nighttime routines, multiple reasons why the use of technology before bed prevents kids from falling asleep, and the most common parenting mistakes that you might be making without even knowing it.
