What Do I Do When My Child Hits?

In this solo episode, Jess answers a listener's question. She explores how to become curious about and respond to children’s challenging behaviours like hitting. She breaks down four key reasons why children may hit and provides practical strategies for addressing each root cause.

In the episode, Jess covers:

How to get curious about why your child is hitting (or engaging in other challenging behaviours)
Proactive ways to meet children's needs before hitting occurs
How to respond to the big feelings that come after you’ve set a boundary around hitting
Recognizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to hitting

Packed with real-life examples and actionable tips, this episode gives parents powerful tools to move beyond basic consequences and truly support their child's growth and development. It is a must-listen for any parent struggling with hitting or other challenging behaviours.
