When your children are playing, sometimes aggression can surface, and one of your kids might start hitting, causing screaming and crying. Your first instinct might be to console the hurt child, but what if I told you that this approach may not be the best way to resolve the situation? Instead, intervening with connection, empathy, and love can create a turning point and help the aggressive child to calm down. Today, I share some real-life strategies and a counterintuitive approach that emphasizes the importance of being an immediate source of support for the child displaying aggressive behavior. 🔗 Join my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration. 🔗 Are you struggling to find more calm and less upset in your home?
