Help with integral parenting toddlers (2 and 4 yo's)

Hi All,

Newbie here and curious if anyone has insight into good or favorite resources for how to look at parenting for a 2 and 4 year old? More specifically, good information about parenting through the different developmental stages?

Interesting post. I’ve not posted in a while, but found this interesting. Some favorite resources, none of which explicitly mention any form of developmental reflexivity (aka, here’s what this stage of your child’s development looks like, here’s where this might you leave you ‘in over your head’, here’s some practices which might help you integrate shadow elements from your own early development that might be at odds with what your children are trying to draw from you…) … I always go with ‘the more frameworks the better approach’ as I’m sure we all do…

PPP - a behavioral approach, looking at boundaries, rewards, logical consequences.

Incredible Years Parent Training (IYPT) - This program helps parents chill out a bit, get better at setting boundaries, and build a stronger, happier connection with their kids.

Focusing on attuned cycles of communication - More for professionals working with parents/educators/social workers than for parents themselves.

Hope that’s in line with your request Ryan.
