Parenting a toddler is often described as a rollercoaster—one minute they are giving you a “cuddle” (UK/AUS) or a “hug” (US/CA), and the next, they are in the middle of a full-blown meltdown. Whether you call it the “Terrible Twos” or the “Magic Years,” the need for effective toddler behavior solutions is a universal constant.
At TinyPal, we believe that behavior is communication. When your child hits, refuses to eat, or stops sleeping, they are telling you they are overwhelmed. Our mission is to provide personalised guidance that feels “made for my child,” helping you decode these signals and restore peace to your home.
Unlike traditional parenting books that take weeks to read, TinyPal helps parents see real change quickly, sometimes in a day. We provide curated tools (ideas, scripts, resources) that save parents hours of research. We don’t just tell you to “be patient”; we give you the exact words to say.
One of the most distressing issues for parents is when a child starts hitting, biting, or scratching. It can feel like you’ve failed as a parent, but it’s actually a lack of impulse control.
TinyPal Solution: * Stay Calm: If you react with anger, you reinforce the high-intensity energy.
- The “Stop Hands” Script: Gently catch their hand and say, “I won’t let you hit. Hitting hurts.”
- Small Steps: TinyPal breaks big problems into small steps that are easy to use, teaching your child to “stomp their feet” or “squeeze a pillow” instead of hitting.

Whether your child is in a “crib” (US/CA) or a “cot” (UK/AUS), sleep regressions can strike at 18 months, 2 years, and beyond.
Toddler Behavior Solutions for Sleep:
- Identify the Leap: Regressions are often tied to new milestones like walking or talking.
- The “Quiet Presence” Tool: Use TinyPal’s scripts to provide comfort without creating new “sleep crutches.”
- Consistency: TinyPal covers many common concerns, ensuring that your bedtime routine is rock-solid across all caregivers.
“I don’t like it!” is a phrase that can trigger any parent. Picky eating is often about a child trying to exert control over their environment.
TinyPal Solution:
- The Power of Two Choices: “Do you want the red pepper or the yellow one?”
- Exposure, Not Pressure: We provide toddler behavior solutions that focus on food neutrality.
- Value for Money: TinyPal delivers more value than many higher-priced parenting apps by providing daily mealtime scripts that actually work.
