Description

Aggressive behaviors in a child can leave you stressed, embarrassed, and understandably frustrated.

The good news is that there are simple things you can do at home to calmly and patiently curb aggressive behavior. The Hand in Hand Parenting tools in this class give you everything you need to get started on a more peaceful household today, if your child:

  • Lashes out at others
  • Hits, scratches, or bites himself or herself
  • Tries to hurt you when upset
  • Gets in trouble at playdates, school or daycare

This approach and these tools are especially helpful for children who have had challenging early experiences such as a difficult birth, invasive medical treatment, or significant separations from a caregiver. When children’s hitting arises out of the fear experienced during these kinds of challenging events, an approach that fosters connection, co-regulation of emotions, and warm limits is critical.

Testimonials

I was so sad when my kids were not getting along and my oldest was hitting and biting, particularly because I had read so many books and was from the beginning practicing attachment parenting and positive discipline. After my first try using what I learned in this class they played together. I mean, really, they played together. They had never done that. That was the beginning of an amazing shift in their relationship and in my relationship with my daughter.

 - An Amazed Mom in Texas

In just a few weeks, we have noticed an incredible shift in our whole family dynamic. Thank you for giving me the idea and permission to play with my son in silly ways. It felt so good to know it is okay to play with my kids! We were both happy and that connected feeling carried over to him helping cook dinner, share with his baby sister, and go to sleep easily. Really amazing stuff!
