What's inside

A reliable sequence for the moments when your thinking gets crowded.

The Tantrum Reset is a practical manual for parents of children aged 18 months to 6 years. It gives you a clear order of operations for a tantrum that is happening now, plus the work that makes future blowups less likely.

The R.E.S.E.T. framework helps you read the pattern, expect and prepare, secure safety and steady yourself, empathize while holding the limit, then teach after calm. It is grounded in developmental research and parent-facing professional guidance, while remaining educational rather than clinical advice.

Inside you will find real-life chapters for public tantrums, bedtime, drop-off, screen time, sibling conflicts and everyday battles, along with a seven-day reset, a fourteen-day practice plan, caregiver agreement and printable quick-reference cards.

The author

Twinkens, parenting manual

Written and fact-checked by the Twinkens editorial team as a practical parenting manual, with sources and further reading included at the end of the book.

The R.E.S.E.T. framework is educational: it combines principles from developmental research, behavioural parent training, emotion socialization research and paediatric guidance. It is not a clinically validated intervention or a substitute for individual care.
