Episode 101: Supporting Toddlers

🎙️🎧 Episode 101 IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎧🎙️

Join Shána, Michelle and Samantha as they explore what it really means to support toddlers, both at home and in early years settings. Drawing on professional insight and real-world experience, the team discusses how toddlers’ needs differ from younger children, and how adults can respond with confidence, consistency and compassion.

In this episode, we cover:

• Supporting toddlers - how is it different?
• How can routines help toddlers feel safe, settled and ready to learn?
• What can settings do to support toddlers and families when starting an education setting?
• Why is sleep such a common challenge at this age, and how can practitioners support families?
• How can potty training be approached in a way that respects each child’s readiness?
• What role do dummies play in comfort and self-regulation, and when might change be needed?
• How can early years professionals support parent wellbeing during the toddler years?

Whether you’re an early years practitioner, a setting leader, or a parent of a toddler, this episode offers practical guidance, reassurance and plenty of “you’re not alone” moments.
