Hitting (and any of that type of ‘inappropriate’ behaviour) can be difficult whichever side you are on – either the parent of the child who is hitting or the one who has been hit.  We chatted about:  Why Children (and some adults) do this! Emotions and how they affect children’s behaviour. Cause and effect – ‘if I do this what happens’. How children are attention needing and that this can drive their behaviour. Children laughing when they’ve hit you...and why?? How to respond when a child hits. Looking for triggers and pre-empting when it might happen. Working together with nursery to help with the situation. “Kind hands” 😂 3 things to remember when your child hits.  Our ‘Hitting’ blog: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/blog/whydoesmychildhit?rq=hit  ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars including behaviour, toilet training, sleep and more) - get 25% off any guide with the code ‘PODCAST’     For information about a 1:1 Parent Consultation to support with behaviour click here: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations     Instagram - @bespokefamily   Facebook - @bespokefamily     https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/ This podcast is produced by Decibelle Creative
