Emotional Development in Toddlers: Why Meltdowns Happen | Swastify Foundation

Big emotions are a normal part of toddlerhood — but understanding why they happen and how to respond can make parenting far less overwhelming.

In this educational video, a pediatrician explains emotional development in toddlers, including why toddlers struggle with emotions, common triggers for meltdowns, practical prevention strategies, and what parents can do during and after an emotional outburst. We also address common myths and highlight red flags that may need professional attention.
