How to Stop A Child from Hitting, Biting, And Pinching

This week’s question is from Hazel,

“How do I react and respond when my child is biting me and other family members when he gets upset? Sometimes he hits or pinches us really hard. It’s typically when he’s been told no, or when something doesn’t go the way he wants it to go. We’re new to all of this, and I feel like we have no idea what to do. Help.” 

In this episode, I will address what to do when your child is hitting, biting, or pinching when they’re upset. I will provide you with strategies on how to divert and redirect this negative behavior, how to keep yourself calm, and ways to structure your caregiving methods to build positive self-regulating skills. 

You can submit a question by emailing us at support@drbeurkens.com with the subject line “Podcast Question.”
