Helping Children with Physical Behaviors

Understanding the challenges of physically intervening with children's behaviors, especially for parents with physical limitations, involves focusing on prevention and tuning into children's rhythms. Creating a familiar, predictable environment and promoting an 'all-feelings-allowed' environment can help in managing difficult situations early. By perceiving children's behaviors accurately and acknowledging their feelings, parents can effectively address challenging behaviors without the need for excessive physical intervention.

Janet addresses two emails with the same theme. Both questions concern two-year-olds who exhibit challenging behaviors when their parents are physically unable to intervene. One mom writes about her son's toy throwing: “He sees that I’m nursing the baby, or that my hands are full with dinner, and he’s frustrated that he doesn’t have my attention.” The other mom says that she has physical challenges: “And of course my smart kid has figured out that it’s easy to lash out on days when I am physically unable to deal.” These moms are wondering what words to use and how to address behavior when they can't be as hands-on as they need to be.
