Case Study: How Do You Stop Aggressive Behavior Without Punishments?

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 responseThe importance of consistent emotional connectionAvoiding punitive measures to reduce aggressionThe role of empathy and connection in disciplinePractical tools for managing aggressive behaviors========🔗 Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
