5.20: Toddler Negotiations 101: Why They’re Winning & We’re Losing (Tantrums, Power Struggles + Chaos)

This week, Amanda & Jessie are breaking down a universal truth: toddlers run the house.


Welcome to Toddler Negotiations 101, a survival guide for moms losing arguments to humans who think socks are optional and ketchup is spicy.


We’re answering:
• Why are toddlers THIS good at negotiating?
• Who gave them this much confidence??
• Do they accept “no” as a challenge?
• Were WE this unhinged as kids, or is this new chaos?

Plus our real-life daily battles:
• Snack wars
• Car seat stiff-as-a-board mode
• Outfit meltdowns
• Screen-time bartering
• The “I want it—NO I DON’T!” loop
• Toddlers changing their minds mid-sentence


And our “expert” pointers (aka survival tips):
• Fake choices (until they stop working)
• Bribery IS parenting
• Distraction magic
• Lower-the-bar wins
• Picking your battles
• Tag-teaming with your partner
• Keeping snacks for YOUR sanity


And of course… your toddler negotiation confessions.

If you’ve ever found yourself debating with someone who eats crayons, this episode is for you.


New episodes every Thursday.
