✨Does your child struggle with aggressive behavior?✨

Here are 10 alternatives that you can try with your kiddo!

It’s important that we TEACH our child how to express themself in a safe & appropriate way!

Talk with your child when they’re happy and let THEM choose what they want to try the next time they have big feelings

If the child gets to CHOOSE what they want to do, they will have an easier time doing it BECAUSE they chose it

Sharing compassion for all the caregivers out there! I know it’s not easy 🤍
