Toddlers Made Easy with Dr Cathryn

How You Might Be Making Toddler Hitting Worse (Without Realizing It)


Listen Later

Your toddler just hit their sibling—again—and your instinct is to react: “That’s not nice!” “Say sorry!” “Go to your room!”

Totally understandable.


But here’s what most parents don’t realize:

👉 Hitting is rarely about being “bad.” It’s a sign your child is overwhelmed and doesn’t yet have the skills to cope.


In this episode, we cover:

🧠 Why toddlers hit, push, or bite

🚫 What common responses can actually make things worse

🔁 How to respond in a way that teaches better behavior over time

🎯 Real-life scripts and strategies that actually work


No fluff. Just practical, evidence-informed tools you can use right away.
