About this group

You're Not Failing. Your Toddler Is Just… a Toddler.

The throwing, the refusals, the meltdowns over the wrong color cup. The way they can go from giggling to full-blown chaos in under ten seconds. If you've ever wondered why your smart, sweet child seems completely unreachable some days — you're in the right place.

Toddlers Running the Roost is a small-group support series designed for parents navigating the 1–3 age range. This isn't a lecture. It's a space to POPCO GROUP SERIES · AGES 1–3

A 3-session support group for parents in the thick of it — and ready to feel less alone in it. Each 60-minute session blends brief, practical education with honest group conversation — because sometimes what you need most is to know another parent is in it too.

SESSION 01: Why Is This Happening?

Understanding the toddler brain — so it stops feeling personal. Before we can respond differently, we need to understand what's actually going on developmentally. This session gives you a clear, compassionate picture of why toddlers behave the way they do — and why it's not defiance, manipulation, or a sign you're doing it wrong. We'll open with shared experiences, move into the "why" behind the behavior, and close with one grounding shift to carry into the week.

SESSION 02: Keeping Your Calm & Navigating Power Struggles

Your regulation is the whole game. Let's work on it together. Knowing why toddlers do what they do is one thing — staying grounded when it's happening in real time is another. This session connects your nervous system response to theirs, explores the anatomy of a power struggle, and helps you find your footing before everything escalates. We'll also get honest about what actually triggers us — and why that matters more than any strategy.

SESSION 03: What Actually Works: Engagement, Connection & Routines

Practical tools for a calmer, more connected daily life. We close the series with a focus on prevention — the structures and strategies that reduce friction before it starts. We'll talk about play and activities that actually engage toddlers, how connection lowers the temperature in your home, and how predictable rhythms help everyone feel safer. You'll leave this session with a short list of tools that fit your real life — not a Pinterest-perfect checklist.

This Series Is a Good Fit If…

✦ You have a child between roughly 1 and 3 years old and you're in the thick of it.
✦ You want to understand your toddler better — not just survive them.
✦ You're looking for a supportive group experience, not a parenting lecture.
✦ You've Googled "why does my toddler do that" more than once this week.
✦ You want practical tools AND a space to feel less alone in this season.
