On this episode, I welcome a mom from The PedsDocTalk community to chat about her 32 month old son and hitting and throwing behaviors. We discuss not only what to do in these situations, but also ways to build emotional resilience and emotional regulation during calm moments. We discuss:
- Why avoiding a big rise is important, but why it’s so hard
- What not to do when trying to discipline hitting and throwing behaviors
- How to use positive reinforcement and fill our child’s cup
