Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
Hitting? Pinching? Kicking?
Most children act aggressively but it can be very tough to see and understand.
When a child is aggressive our instinct is often to shut it down - "Don’t hit," we say, or "I don’t want to hear those things."
Looking at A Child's Aggressive Behavior in a New WayWhile we can and should set limits about the behavior, what happens if we can listen to what that behavior is telling us?
In this episode, Abigail tells about a time her son genuinely scared her with his aggression and how they worked through it. She discovered a root cause actually stemming from his reputation as a “good guy.”
And Elle talks about the differences in her two children’s aggression - and her own - as well as how difficult it can be coping with regular aggressive episodes.
We talk about the one emotion that results in aggression, and how you can respond in a way that supports your child's development.
If you are seeing aggression in your house, and want to understand what drives it, this episode is for you. Aggression is tough to see, harder to talk about, and is one part of parenting that deserves the biggest support.
