* **Our Family’s Parenting Philosophy:** `[Describe your general approach. For example: “gentle/respectful parenting,” “positive discipline,” “Montessori-inspired,” “authoritative but flexible,” or “we’re still figuring it out but want to avoid yelling and punishment.”]`

* **Section 3: Proactive & Long-Term Solutions:** Offer 3-4 practical strategies I can implement daily or weekly to prevent the behavior from occurring as often. Think about routine adjustments, environmental changes, or skill-building activities.
* **Section 4: Sample Scripts & Phrases:** Give me 5-7 specific, ready-to-use phrases that I can say to my toddler. Include phrases for validating feelings, setting boundaries, and offering choices.
**4. FORMAT & CONSTRAINTS:**
