One of the most important things to do when our kids act up is to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. This doesn’t mean you have to psychoanalyze them or dig into psychological theory, it simply means: try to put yourself in your child’s shoes. When it comes to temper tantrums in toddlers, this is particularly true.
Once you understand why your toddler throws fits, rolls around on the floor or screams, you will have a much easier time handling them. And you will be able to curb the length of time they last because your response to tantrums has a huge influence on them.
Knowing what’s going on inside your toddler will be a gamechanger for you. It will take the angst you feel during the tantrums out of the picture.
What You’ll Learn
Why your child throws tantrums (hint: it’s not just “bad behavior”) — you’ll learn how to see the world from their perspective and take the shame or blame off you and them.
How your reactions fuel the meltdown—and what to do instead so you stay in control, not them.
Specific, practical tactics you can use in the moment when the storm hits (breathing, stepping away, staying quiet) so you don’t lose your cool.
How to help your child regain their calm and trust you again—so clean-up, chores and daily routines stop being battlegrounds.
How to see tantrums as a developmental stage—not a permanent trait—and shift your mindset from reactive to empowering.
Tantrums are hard. They drain your energy, stretch your patience, and leave you wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. But here’s the truth: you can change this. With the right understanding, the right tools, and a supportive strategy, you can move from chaos to connection. Join us in this course and take back the calm you and your family deserve.

Most of the course material is designed for parents. But I’ve included optional bonus videos where I talk directly to your children when you buy the full course. There are different videos to show them depending on their gender and age.
It’s a guide for parents to return to throughout their kids’ childhood and teenage years, as their needs and ability to understand change over time. Suggested age for these discussions to start is generally around 8 years of age. You can use it to prepare younger children for puberty, come back for more guidance in their early teens, and return to it again in their late teens as they get ready to become adults.
This course is available through our Ask Dr. Meg Parenting Portal subscription. While your subscription is active, you can feel free to stopping and starting whenever you’d like. Any time you have questions or concerns about your kids, you can log in and find the answers.
Absolutely, but podcast style audio files of all the videos are available within the comprehensive course only.
After 30+ years of working with parents and children, I am confident that this course will work for you when you try it out. As this is part of lifework, purchases are final and nonrefundable.

That’s entirely up to you. All the materials are engaging, to the point, and easy to put into practice right away.
I certainly hope not! I had fun making it. I talk to you and your kids just like I talk to my patients and their parents in my pediatric medical office.
Definitely not! Discussions about sex should be ongoing, not one-time events.
Teenagers have questions. Growing up in our society means they’ll be encouraged and even pressured to have sex early and experiment with multiple partners.
If their parents don’t step up, no one will tell them the truth about all the medical and psychological risks that come with premarital sex, multiple sex partners, and other sexual practices which are sadly all too common among young people today.
With this bundle, you’ll be prepared with honest and medically accurate answers for the questions your kids might be too afraid to ask.
They don’t know everything. I promise you that. Your kids may claim they won’t listen to you, or that they know everything, but they know it’s not true.
Their peers don’t know the facts. You do. That’s why you need to talk to them. Remember—they want to hear what you have to say about their sexuality and any sexual activity they may engage in—whether it was in the past, the present, or the future.
Trust me on this. Every kid wants to know their parents care enough to talk with them, and listen to them, about such important and defining topics.
