Hitting is usually a sign your child is overwhelmed, not โbad.โ
Instead of punishing, guide them.
Hereโs what actually works:
โข Stay calm so they feel safe
โข Gently stop the behavior
โข Use simple words like โsafe handsโ
โข Show a better action like hugging or asking for help
โข Offer a calm-down choice (break, quiet play, deep breath)
The more you model, the faster they learn.
Save this for later, it really helps in the moment ๐ค
