Five Ways Not to Respond to Biting, Hitting and Hair Pulling
GreatDad Writers
Don’t bite back in the hope that it will teach them a lesson
Don’t send your children to their room for a time-out. This will only make the behavior more attractive as the commotion created makes them feel more powerful
Avoid lectures
Don’t suggest your children hit a pillow. You want to teach your children to solve their problems rather than vent their feelings
Don’t ask your children to explain their behavior; focus instead on solving the problem.
