Is Your Toddler (or older child) Hitting, Biting, Snatching or Lashing Out? Here’s How to Handle It

Few things feel as overwhelming as watching your child hit, bite, or lash out—especially in public. The embarrassment, the judgment from other parents, the pressure to make them say sorry… it can leave you feeling lost and frustrated.

In this episode, I sit down with Katy, a mum navigating these challenges with her lively three-year-old son, Leo. Together, we unpack why toddlers act out physically, what’s really happening in their little brains, and—most importantly—how to respond in a way that actually helps them learn to manage their emotions.

If you've ever worried about your child's aggression or felt unsure how to handle those intense moments, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away with practical, compassionate strategies to guide your child through their big emotions—without punishments or power struggles.
