Miranda Fitzgibbon :
What if they hit the same person and no one else? In this case a grandparent

There was this 2yo girl in my daycare who was excessively hitting teachers/other kids, biting them, kicking etc. she had gentle parents (2 gay fathers) and we tried to redirect constantly and tell her that wasn’t very nice and told her to apologize. if we didn’t acknowledge it at all she would 100% continue to do so especially to other children. the things she would “want” is toys other kids are playing with. if she did not get her way she would throw herself around and scream bloody murder and bite/hit/kick. please tell me how to handle this situation!!

nadya :
Can you explain what else to do then? Because you say no response and model what you want them to do instead, but you don’t really go into what you do instead. You don’t respond or give them a reaction when they hit but what do you redirect them to? What is the skill you’re giving them for them to be successful as you say? I have this problem with my child too and I need help. Thanks

Question: my 8 year old has anger outbursts OFTEN, I’ve tried getting on his level and asking him what he’s feeling or how can I help him not want to throw things/scream/hit etc I’ve also tried distracting him and having him focus on something else, I’ve tried having him take deep breaths etc I feel like I’ve tried SO MANY options and I need advice on how to help him with these big angry feelings without making him feel like he’s a “bad child” for having them because I never want him to feel like him having anger is him being a bad child, I just want to help him regulate his emotions in a healthy way at home and at school 😭😭

Morton’s Munchies :
In this situation you should take their hand calmly and guide their hand on your arm in a stroking motion and calmly say “gentle” in a happy positive voice and do that several times. That’s how they learn to switch from hitting to gentle stroking your arm for attention 😊 because they don’t understand that hitting is wrong or painful to others.

What if they are hitting their sibling in a reaction or fight

And 20% of the population are dyslexic and the “B,D” mixing could be a very, very early sign of this. 99% diagnoses accurately at 5.5 yrs old.

Can you expand on this? How would I model this? My 13 month old is biting and pinching me so much it's really hard for me to not react as he is physically hurting me and I can't help but make a noise. I try really hard to not respond but idk what I am doing wrong 😞 I honestly just walk away usually and say no biting or you can't hurt mama but idk if that's helpful.

My two year hits whenever he feels angry/frustrated but also when he feels social anxiety. What do I do in that exact moment? What do I teach him to do instead of hitting? What action do I replace it with?

I am raising my grandson who is nonverbal and has level 3 autism. Because he can’t communicate it makes it difficult to know what he wants. he will sometimes get frustrated because he cannot communicate something that he needs. When he was probably around a year old he would swat pinch bite or pull hair whenever he would get really upset about something he couldn’t communicate. I never told him no, or hit him back. I always stayed very calm spoke with gentleness and love and worked really hard to figure out what he wanted/needed. I always validated his frustration. I got him into speech therapy and OT. Got him a tablet and began teaching him how to use it to communicate. I began labeling everything around the house with pictures so that he could lead me to what he needed and point to a picture. Guess who is the sweetest kindest most loving little 3.5 yr boy? Yep you guessed right. Hitting a baby or telling them “no hitting” just makes them hit more. As with every living being on this earth…..if you treat your little ones with love respect and kindness then that is the only way they know how to treat you in return and I will absolutely die on that hill.

I feel like the other issue is they don’t understand the “do not do x” or “no x” completely at this young age. They just hear “x” and that’s not helpful. I follow what you do and our daughter has responded well. We accidentally got into “no throwing” with food at meals and she throws more with it

When this happens, I ask my 15 month old if she has “silly hands” and I calmly tell her that we can use our silly hands for something else. Then I take her to our giant panda squishmallow and she can do whatever she wants to that.
