Wait!
Before you read another word...

Toddlers aren't difficult. They're young. Once you understand the difference, the exhausting cycle of reasoning, warnings, and "staying calm" finally ends.

If you've tried everything and nothing has stuck, it's not because you're failing. It's because the advice most parents get focuses on managing behavior in the moment—and misses what actually drives the behavior in the first place.

You're in the right place if YOU...

feel defeated by frequent meltdowns and behavior challenges
are tired of "gentle" tactics that never seem to produce any real change
feel embarrassed when your toddler hits or takes toys on playdates
are scared you're doing lasting harm and don't know how to stop the cycle
question if you have what it takes to be a good parent

Especially if you're done guessing—and ready for an approach that actually holds up in real life.

Imagine Instead...

waking up feeling confident in your parenting skills
moving through routines without the usual resistance, repeating, or negotiating
feeling close to your toddler, not stuck in a standoff
your home feeling more peaceful—not perfect, but manageable and light
becoming the parent you truly want to be

Every day you wait = more missed connection

with toddlers and their parents

Knowing what to do is a start.

But seeing and hearing the approach in action makes all the difference. Inside Peaceful Toddler™, you'll watch videos of me interacting with toddlers in my classes—setting limits, responding to upsets, hitting, toy-taking and more—so you know what the approach looks and sounds like in real life.

A Little About Me

For over 20 years, I've been teaching parents of babies and toddlers how to raise confident, cooperative children. I'm Deborah Carlisle Solomon, author of "Baby Knows Best" and former Executive Director of RIE, one of the top early childhood education organizations for parents and childcare professionals worldwide.

I've worked with thousands of parents, online and in-person on four continents.

Introducing

PEACEFUL TODDLER™

The ultimate course for parents who want to build a peaceful, joyful relationship with their child

Here's what parents have to say, in their own words.

"We used to struggle with what to do when our son had a meltdown, but after studying with Deborah, we can now confidently respond to help our son calm and cooperate, during meltdowns or whenever he's struggling. Deborah gives easy-to-understand, practical tools to use in all sorts of situations. We feel so blessed."
— K. Kleveland, California

"The videos were so impactful and my parenting life is SO MUCH easier now! I know how to prevent a lot of my son's meltdowns and if he ignores or resists a limit or rule, I know how to respond calmly. I'm not a perfect parent, but I'm a much happier parent. I don't feel so stressed anymore and feel a lot more joy and confidence. Thank you!"

— Jolene T., Texas

"I took the Peaceful Toddler™ course because my child was biting, and I didn’t know what to do to make her stop. The Peaceful Toddler course helped me to understand why she was biting, what I could do to prevent it, and what to do when it happened. I now have tools and know how to respond."

— Rebecca L-O., Maine

Which of these sound familiar?

Mealtime

Your toddler dumps food on the floor, gets up and down from the table and wanders around with food in their hand, and mealtimes are miserable

Play Time

Your toddler hits, pushes and takes toys

from other children, and you worry it's because you're parenting poorly

Bedtime

Your toddler gets out of bed multiple times before they finally go to sleep and you feel frustrated because you'd like a little time for yourself

“Those moments in a toddler class—those videos—

You Also Get These Bonuses

BONUS 1:

Ease Crying & Upset Training Video

You’ll learn how you respond to your toddler’s crying and upset affects how long it lasts and whether there’s residual upset that comes out later in the form of irritability, a stomachache or uncooperative behavior. What I teach you removes a lot of pressure that parents often feel when their child gets upset. When you feel less pressure about your child’s crying and upset, when you let go of “I have to fix this,” you’ll be more effective in helping your child to calm and feel better.

BONUS 2:

Transitions: How to Shift from One Activity to Another—Without Upset Training Video

It takes practice for toddlers to be able to shift gears, so they can move smoothly from one activity to the next; whether it’s shifting from having fun at the playground to going home, from playtime to mealtime or something else. In this video, I’ll teach you how to make these transitions easier.

BONUS 3:

Toilet Learning Made Simple & Straightforward

Toddlers don't need to be trained to use the toilet. When they're ready, they learn easily. When you understand the signs of physical and emotional readiness, you'll know what to look for and when to begin the process, so you can put away diapers during the day, at nap time and overnight too. In this guide, you'll discover how to plan ahead for success, what readiness signs to look for and how to support your toddler to learn.

BONUS 4:

Group Childcare:
What to Ask & What to Look For

This guide will help you know what questions to ask and what to look for—in the physical environment of the childcare center and in the adult-child interactions. When you know how to do your research, you will be able to make the best decision for your child and for your family, so you can feel confident—in the center and in the caregivers.

BONUS MINI COURSE:

Creating a Safe Haven: Designing the Ideal Play Space for Your Toddler

I’ll teach you how to take a fresh look at your toddler’s play space and toys, to ensure that both are working for you rather than contributing to conflicts and chaotic behavior. You’ll get a training video, along with a Childproofing Resource List, Toy Inventory Assessment and Toy Resource List, with lots of ideas for simple and inexpensive toddler toys.

“But What If…”

"I’ve tried before..." → {}

Most parents who come to this course have tried other approaches. The difference here isn't effort. It's the framework.

"I don't have time..." → {}

I designed the Peaceful Toddler Program to teach you what you need to know in as succinct a way as possible, so you don't have to wade through hours of videos and written content. Each module has several videos, no longer than 15 minutes each, and it takes no more than one hour to watch all the videos in each module. That means no more than 3 hours in total to watch all the videos in the Peaceful Toddler Program. You can watch and learn when you have time. The practice happens when you're with your toddler anyway.

"I’m not tech-savvy..." → {}

The course learning platform is easy to navigate and we're always an email away if you have any difficulties.

Real People, Real Results

“

Studying with Deborah transformed my relation-ship with my child. It's amazing how I feel more confident, more peaceful and more hopeful. I got a real paradigm shift, a real mindset shift, a real change of vision of what respectful parenting could be. I know what it sounds like, what it feels like, what it looks like and I have a clearer understanding and vision of what it can be. I truly owe it to Deborah to parent in this way.
