Video insights

@drdeborahparenting's TikTok video "Your child hits you, and you want this behavior to stop. So in the moment, you reach for whatever response feels like it will work fastest. One time you ask, "Why did you do that?" Another time you explain, "That hurts." Another time you stop it immediately. You want the same thing every time: for the hitting to stop. But your child is learning that hitting does not always lead to the same outcome. Here's what to do instead. Give yourself one response for every hit. Stop. Separate. Reset. The moment it happens, say: "Hands must be safe." Then end access immediately. If they hit you, create space between you. If they hit a sibling, separate them. If they hit during play, the play stops. The rule is simple. Hitting ends participation. When the hitting stops and your child can keep their hands safe, they can return. If they hit again, access ends again. Now your child learns exactly what hitting produces. Hitting ends access. Safe hands allow participation. That is the Safe Body Removal Protocol. If you want to know exactly what to do every time your child hits, get the Parenting OS. #ParentingTips #ParentCoach #ParentSupport #ParentingCommunity #Parenting" has 104,925 views, 1,749 likes, 30 comments, 632 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
