Child hitting
My child hits when he doesn’t get his way or he is mad. When will he grow out of this? I’m getting tired of this and even though I try to discipline - it’s very hard to rationalise with a 3 year old. What do you guys do in this situation?
He will grow out of it, but he may need some guidance. It’s totally normal as they’re still learning emotions and how to use words when they’re feeling these things. My son bit me yesterday out of frustration which he has never done. I explained that it’s okay to be frustrated but not okay to bite. And afterwards we had a talk about his feelings and how biting isn’t a way to get the things he wants. It’s a really tricky stage! But it’s mostly down to emotional regulation.
