The Toddler Meltdown Field Guide

You're crouched on a shop floor, your toddler is screaming, and every stranger nearby has an opinion. You just want to know what to do — right now, not in theory.

This guide gives you that. No parenting philosophy lectures, no "every child is different" shrugging — just the exact words and steps to use in the first 90 seconds of a meltdown, broken down by type: public tantrums, bedtime battles, transitions, sibling blow-ups.

You'll also get the repair conversation to have afterward, the quiet patterns that predict a meltdown before it hits, and a printable pocket card to keep in your bag for the next one (because there's always a next one).

You're not failing when there's a meltdown. You just haven't had the script yet. Now you do.
