How to Respond When Your Toddler Keeps Hitting Other Kids

Episode 186

Wednesday, August 5, 2026 • Duration 11:53

If your toddler keeps hitting other kids — not a single tap, but real, repeated hitting — you've probably already heard "check in with the hurt child first." That advice is right, but it's incomplete. It doesn't tell you what to actually do about the hitting itself, especially when it keeps happening.

In this episode, I'm walking through the CATCH Method — the exact 5-step sequence I use in my practice for repeated physical aggression in toddlers, including close supervision, physical interruption, and consistent consequences that actually decrease the behavior over time. Physical aggression is developmentally normal and rises through age 2 to 3 before declining through the preschool years — the real task isn't eliminating the impulse, it's teaching a child to control it (Tremblay et al., 2004).

In this episode: → The CATCH Method for repeated hitting, step by step → Why checking in with the hurt child first isn't the whole answer → The exact one-sentence consequence to state — and how to follow through → What to do when your child hits back → How to rebuild trust with other kids and parents once the hitting stops

New to my podcast? I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future.

Episode 185

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 03:43

✨ Want a proven way to handle every parenting conflict with confidence? Register for the free workshop → https://www.drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop

Your toddler grabs a toy from another child, and suddenly you're not just managing your kid — you're managing your own embarrassment in front of the other parent. This episode walks through exactly what to say to your child, and how to handle the other adult without over-apologizing.

Toddlers are only just beginning to understand ownership as a concept at all between 24 and 30 months, and that understanding is directly linked to whether they share in the first place.

In this episode: → The 3 A's Method for the moment your child takes someone else's toy → What to say instead of just "give it back" → How to handle the other parent without over-apologizing → Whether your child taking a toy means something is wrong → The exact phrase that turns "give it back" into an actual lesson
