Podcast: S2E9
In this episode of Motheroo Podcast, we explore the concept of “progression, not regression” in newborn and infant development. We debunk common misconceptions about developmental milestones, explaining why seemingly challenging phases are actually signs of growth. Our expert guests discuss key progressions in sleep patterns, cognitive skills, and emotional development, offering parents and caregivers a fresh perspective on supporting their child’s journey. Learn how adopting this positive outlook can reduce anxiety, promote better parenting strategies, and create a nurturing environment for your little one’s natural developmental leaps.

It’s Not the Terrible Twos: Why 2.5 Feels So Hard (and What It Really Means) – Motheroo Podcast
A 2.5‑year‑old who was easy yesterday and is suddenly rigid, explosive and saying “no” to everything can leave even the calmest parent rattled. In this episode, we unpack what developmental disequilibrium actually is, why it so often peaks around two‑and‑a‑half, and how it’s linked to a rapidly changing brain rather than “bad behaviour.” Drawing on decades of child development research, you’ll learn why your toddler’s obsession with sameness, dramatic tantrums and tiny‑dictator vibes are a normal (and temporary) stage, plus practical, evidence‑based strategies to co‑regulate, reduce power struggles and support their growing independence with more confidence and less guilt.Read the blog post:MotherooHQ.comFollow us:instagram.com/motherooHQinstagram.com/motheroopodcasttiktok.com/@motherooHQtwitter.com/motherooHQfacebook.com/motherooHQ
