Episode 150 Q&A: How to Stop my Child from Hitting, Biting, and Pinching

<p><strong>This weeks question is from Hazel</strong>,</p> <p><em>“How do I react and respond when <strong>my child is biting me and other family members when he gets upset</strong>? Sometimes <strong>he hits or pinches us really hard</strong>. 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.” </em></p> <p>In this episode, I will address what to do when your child is hitting, biting, or pinching when they’re upset. <strong>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</strong> to build positive self-regulating skills. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens on...</span></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/drnicolebeurkens/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/drnicolebeurkens/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Facebook</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.drbeurkens.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Drbeurkens.com</span></a></p> <p><br /> <br /></p>
