Who’s in charge around here? —17-month-old

Mom like a boss. You are already an amazing mother. You love, you sacrifice, you work, you dream, you try, you fail—and then you get right back up and love on that little one again.

Try this: Empathize, no matter how ridiculous it seems. "I know honey, you really wanted to put spaghetti on your head." You can also name her emotions—which helps her understand them and (over time) moderate them.
