Is your child a sweet, sensitive kid who hits others? Could your child's aggressive behaviors be a sign of unmet needs? Today, I discuss the complex world of childhood aggression as we explore this topic with Samantha and Phil, parents who are grappling with their six-year-old son’s aggressive tendencies.
Together, we unpack how aggression in children is often a manifestation of unmet needs and fear, rather than a disposition towards being 'bad.' We exchange heartfelt stories and practical advice on breaking the cycle of aggression by shifting our own parenting responses and focusing on the importance of empathy, connection, and self-care in creating a nurturing and supportive environment for our kids.
In this Episode:
Understanding aggression as a fear response
The importance of consistent emotional connection
Avoiding punitive measures to reduce aggression
The role of empathy and connection in discipline
Practical tools for managing aggressive behaviors
