Hitting behavior, temper tantrums and anger management in general are the most embarrassing and difficult problems for parents to deal with.
We got through it though and nobody is more proud of their kids than me. Well, there’s my wife, of course…Here’s some important points we learned after going through those days.

• Its not your fault, you are NOT doing something wrong.

• This is a development STAGE that lots of children go through.

• Those last two words are very important for you to remember...

• GO THROUGH…THROUGH…there’s an end to this.

• Everyone wanted to offer advice. They all thought they knew best.

• We know our children better than ANYONE else.

• There is good professional information available to you right NOW.

• The sooner you can do something about the problem the better.

Now it took us by surprise when the hitting problem developed.

It was not much at first and it took us a while to admit we had a problem.

Why was it so surprising?

Well (and this is a bit embarrassing) you see I was supposed to be somewhat of an

expert in child behavior management!

At that time I had been working for a full 10 years in my professional capacity

with children who had an intellectual disability.

You may be aware that these children can often display

complex sets of severe behavioral problems and here’s me,

the so-called expert experiencing hitting behavior from my own toddler.

Now if I am an expert in behavior management (and I am considered to be one)

then why should you, presumably without my years of training and experience,

be beating yourself up about this problem?

The answer – YOU SHOULDN’T!

OK, so what did I do? I saw the problem

(CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE DONE THAT or you wouldn’t be here)

and I put my knowledge into action. Problem solved?

Not quite. It took some time. You see, my failure to admit

the problem allowed the behavior to become strongly established.

The longer you leave it the harder the job to make it right.

So how can I help? Well, knowledge and experience are the keys.

You are gaining experience right now, rather “negative” experience perhaps,

but you WILL SOON have more “positive” experience.

How?

KNOWLEDGE.

The best way I can think of to get that knowledge quickly is to read.

Read and learn.The answers are very easy to learn.

You can turn your toddler hitting problem around in just days.

Honestly, days!

I have provided you with a link to what I consider an

excellent source of the knowledge you are going to need to help your toddler

move through this stage.

I highly recommend The Happy Child Guide

This guide takes a compassionate approach to you and your child.

It is written in a friendly style, so easy to read

you will find yourself quite absorbed.

I only wish I had it years ago.

Don’t beat yourself up about it.

O.K. so your toddler has a hitting problem.

Whose fault is that? Well, no one’s really. Its not a question of blame.

Forget it. That approach is no use to you.

Sure, they might have picked that behavior up somewhere. Maybe TV?

Maybe other children?

We will never know the answer to that, so let’s just move away from here and be constructive.

You have already started on the track to solving this behavior problem. You are here aren’t you?

Let us look at possible causes, not to find out why the behavior exists, but to try to eliminate them.

By doing that you can remove some of what is called “Modeling” or, if you like, examples of the behavior.

Maybe for a while we have to guide your toddler towards TV programs that don’t model this behavior.

This is not always easy. Blocking a favorite show can be a tantrum trigger and act against the strategies we might use to get rid of hitting behavior.

Keeping your toddler away from other kids that hit might be a little easier. Only for a while – until we have this problem solved.

You could try to manage situations in a way that does not cause your toddler to hit. More about this in a bit.

What I really want is for you to look at situations that might be modeling the hitting behavior and try to reduce them.

Look for trigger situations.

How do we manage trigger situations? Well, its not always easy, but we can learn.

The best thing to do first is just to observe your toddler. Just watch for a while, or even better, have someone else do this.

We are not going to solve this overnight, so take a scientific approach to the hitting problem. Observe. Observe some more.

What do you see happening just before your toddler hits? Is this a trigger?

Triggers are important because this is something you can control.

You can remove the trigger.

Remove your child from the trigger

Divert attention away from the trigger, or

offer a new situation to replace a trigger event, or situation.

Now this is just a beginning and a small part of controlling your toddler hitting problem, but you have made a start.

For now, observe.

Learn.

Hi, This is Stu here and I have made this blog in the interest of helping you get through some of the trying times of being a parent.

You may be here because of a toddler hitting problem, or something different, but together we will find a solution.

Don’t forget that even though your child has grown to be a toddler, you are still new to this parenting business and you should be learning and seeking help all the time.

I know everyone will want to offer advice, but they all seem to offer different advice, don’t they, so what do you do?

Who do you listen to?

Well I’m going to find out for you. I’m going to get the best information to you.

How am I going to do this?

I’m going to use more than 20 years of parenting experience and more than 10 years of professional experience in child behavior problems.

My training and professional work experience has taken me places where, thankfully, you will never go. I have worked with parents whose toddlers have shown the most extreme behavior problems.

I am well aware of the devastation these problems can cause in a family, but you are probably not experiencing anything like that.

You do have a problem though, or you would not have come here, so I am going to help you and together we will find a solution.

I am going to concentrate on toddlers hitting. Toddlers can get a bit sassy and can throw full tantrums, but this doesn’t really hurt anyone.

Sure, it’s a bit embarrassing, but most people, especially other parents, understand and are even amused by that little bundle of fury.

No, its hitting behavior that is more serious and there is usually no tolerance for this. Another common one is biting behavior, but thankfully the solution is usually the same for both behaviors.

Most parents will be very offended if their toddler, or they are hit.

So we are going to do something about it.

What do we do?

Let’s start here and as you grow with confidence  you can solve that toddler hitting problem
