It has appeared in the daily top list on 2 different days, peaking at #47. The threads keep coming back to the same themes: emotional, toddler.

What's a sensible first step?
General parenting checklist (not specific advice for this thread):
- Look for the pattern: when, where and with whom the behaviour happens.
- Check basics first: sleep, hunger, screen time, big changes at home or school.
- Stay calm and consistent; pick a few clear rules with predictable consequences.
