Welcome to Transforming Toddlerhood!
We believe that with effective tools and strategies, you can put the “terrible twos” and “threenager” challenges behind you and experience the joy of parenting a toddler.
Hi! I’m Devon
Founder of Transforming Toddlerhood
I’m a wife, mama and the original toddler parenting expert on Instagram. In 2018, I created Transforming Toddlerhood with the mission to transform the myth that toddlerhood is terrible!
As an ICF certified coach with a degree in psychology, I help thousands of families each year through courses, workshops, and the annual Transforming Toddlerhood Conference. We are a community of 700,000 parents and caregivers committed to transforming their parenting, their toddler’s behavior, and overall experience of toddlerhood while creating a relationship with their child that lasts a lifetime.
Now, I want to help you overcome the chaos of toddlerhood so you can experience confidence and joy in parenting your child.


BECAUSE I’VE BEEN EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE…
Not wanting to face another grueling day of caregiving,
and not knowing if I’m really up for the task.
In the early days of my career, I worked as a nanny for high-profile families across the globe and I’ve seen it ALL when it comes to toddler behaviors.
The crying. The tantrums. The power struggles.
Transforming Toddlerhood Approach
Learn positive, developmentally appropriate parenting tools that work with your child’s development – not against it!

DECODE BEHAVIOR
Get to the root of what your toddler’s behavior is communicating so you can meet their needs with in your boundaries while shifting to an empowered mindset.

NURTURE DEVELOPMENT
Take control of your emotions and actions to transform your reactions in to responses allowing you to create connection and embrace the critical development of toddlerhood.

BUILD SKILLS
Redefine discipline so you can master parenting tools and strategies that are not only effective but also build a strong relationship with your child allowing you to become a confident guide.
Parenting then becomes something you do with your child instead of something you do to them, which creates more space for joy, fun, and healthy development for everyone!
And that’s the core of the Transforming Toddlerhood approach!

At Transforming Toddlerhood we believe that toddlers
are not terrible.
Our proven Transforming Toddlerhood Framework allows you to walk away confident in your parenting, your toolbox filled with developmentally appropriate strategies, and (most importantly) that you’re excited to experience this precious time with your child.

you’re a good parent to your toddler.

Here’s what they have to say.
Experienced a massive shift!
I was constantly frustrated and very aware of not wanting to embody the same parenting style as my own parents had, which was dominated by control and anger. I experienced a massive shift through working with Devon. I was able to identify that my need to control everything was hindering exactly what I wanted to create – a mutually cooperative partnership. Devon was very compassionate and helped me return to the person I wanted to be, so I could model the behavior I wanted to see in my daughter.

Mama of 1I was able to gain techniques!
My biggest challenge was acknowledging my own emotions and offering connection during tantrums. I was being triggered and responding in anger. Through Transforming Toddlerhood, I was able to gain techniques on how to connect with myself and my son to prevent tantrums from becoming meltdowns, oftentimes diffusing them all together. Now, I feel much more confident in my abilities.

Mom of 1I feel capable, empowered, and confident!
I felt overwhelmed by the constant meltdowns of our son, the aggression towards his little brother and other children. We felt confused, defeated, and hopeless of anything ever changing. We didn’t enjoy parenting and we weren’t able to delight in our toddler. Now enjoy parenting our son and it is so much fun! I learned how to view the world from his lens and come alongside him to establish partnership. I feel capable, empowered, and confident in my parenting.
