How to Handle Hitting and Morning Chaos: Child Psychology Advice

In this episode of Dam Parenting, we’re giving you a seat in a "free therapy" session with our resident child psychologist, Faye from Kerr Psychology. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at two of the most common hurdles for international parents: physical outbursts and the dreaded morning chaos.

First, we tackle the "big feelings" that manifest physically—hitting, pushing, and lashing out—and how to support your child without losing your own cool. Then, we dive into the time-management battles that turn every morning into a high-stress scramble. Faye provides evidence-based guidance to help you move from reactive parenting to a place of compassionate clarity. If you’ve ever felt like the only parent struggling to get out the door or manage a meltdown, this conversation is a vital reminder that you are not alone and that there are practical, gentle ways to regain control of your day.
