Today we are talking about toddlers - specifically toddler aggression, and even more specific to toddler hitting. We work with many families with toddlers and pre-schoolers to manage sleep challenges at those ages. Which also means we are dealing with families who are in the thick of toddler sleep regressions and behaviors that are new to both the child and parents - and hitting is often at the center of this.
We heard Dr. Cara Goodwin on an episode of The Mom Room podcast with host Renee Reina - which brought up so many additional questions about toddler behaviour regressions and hitting, as so many of my clients are managing these difficult situations. So I am beyond thrilled to have Dr. Cara Goodwin, on today's episode - she is a mother of 3, licensed child psychologist, PhD and author - listen in to hear her expert opinion on this topic!
