Description

Dr. Cathryn tackles the challenging topic of toddler hitting with a compassionate, big-hearted approach. We explore the various reasons behind this common behavior and introduce the E.A.S.Y. method—a practical, step-by-step strategy to help parents respond effectively. The episode breaks down each component of the method:


• E - Evaluate: Create a pause to calm your own nervous system

• A - Acknowledge: Verbalize what you think your child is feeling

• S - Stick to boundaries: Clearly state the rule about hitting

• Y - Yes, shift to something the child can do: Offer an alternative activity


We also discuss the importance of understanding toddlers' developmental stages, the value of consistent guidance, and additional tips for supporting emotional development. 


This episode offers parents a nurturing way to address hitting while strengthening their bond with their child and fostering emotional intelligence, ultimately laying the foundation for healthy self-image and interactions throughout their child's life.
