When Your Child Hits (Stop Doing This)

14 Apr 2026 · 28 min · Episode 159

#159 In this episode, Lisa discusses her approach when children are hitting others. She covers navigating aggressive behaviour and why she believes children often start this behaviour in the first place. Lastly, Lisa addresses eight listener questions, discussing how to respond when a 17-month-old has started hitting others, what to do when a 5-year-old is acting out at school, the best way to manage 4-year-old tantrums and hitting a sibling, and how to handle a toddler throwing things and hitting others. She then explores how to manage a 13-month-old hitting and pulling hair, how to navigate intense tantrums from a 5-year-old, what to do when a 4-year-old is getting in the personal space of others, and how to address behavior from a 5-year-old that has regressed since a new sibling arrived.
