@mariia.reviews: Hitting peaks around age 2 — most toddlers do it, and most grow out of it with the right support. It's not aggression. It's communication from a child who can't control big emotions yet and doesn't have the words for them. What doesn't work: hitting back, yelling, shaming, calling them "bad." Fear stops it for a moment, but it doesn't teach anything. What works: - Stay calm - Set a clear boundary — "I won't let you hit" - Name the feeling — "You're angry." - Show a safer way: squeeze a pillow, stomp your feet Connection + limits = real learning. Does yours hit more when tired or when told no? 👇 #toddlerhitting #toddlerbehavior #toddlerdevelopment #toddlertantrums #gentleparenting #2yearold #toddlermom #momsoftiktok
