Episode 172: Helping a hitting child The Aware Parenting Podcast
-
- Kids & Family
In this episode, I share about what's going on when a child is hitting. I talk about them being in the fight or flight response, and how we can help them move out of that state of hyperarousal, through feeling physically and emotionally safe, to return to homeostasis through healing raging and crying (or laughing and playing) with our loving support.
I mention ways we can prevent hitting from happening in the first place, what we can do if we don't get there in time to prevent it happening.
I talk about the choice we have between loving limits and attachment play in response to hitting, and what exactly we might choose to say with loving limits.
I finish with a story from my latest book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening', which is through the eyes of a child who is hitting.
You can buy the paperback or ebook on Amazon by searching for 'I'm Here and I'm Listening' on the Amazon store in your country!
