Understanding Children's Self-Harming Behavior
Children may exhibit self-harming behaviors like biting or hitting themselves during tantrums or moments of frustration. Parents often react emotionally, but it's crucial to remain calm to prevent reinforcing such behaviors. By maintaining trust and not escalating the situation, children can learn to navigate their emotions without harmful actions. Offering gentle alternatives like a teething rind can redirect self-destructive behavior positively.
