What to do if a three-year-old likes to hit others

Some parents are too busy with work to take care of their children, so they can only send their children to kindergarten and pick them up home when they get off work in the evening. Some parents received complaints from kindergarten teachers saying that their children always like to hit others and have made several other children cry, so they asked the parents to go home and teach their children. What should I do if my three-year-old child likes to hit people? Parents can learn about the following reasons why children like to hit others.

1. What to do if your three-year-old baby likes to hit others

1. When a child hits someone, the adult should first remain calm. If parents become overly nervous and act as if facing a great enemy when their child hits others, and agree to everything the child asks for, the child will think, "So you are all afraid of me." This will only encourage the child's hitting behavior.

2. When a child hits someone, the correct attitude of the parents should be a gentle but firm denial: hitting others is not allowed, it is not permitted, and it is wrong. Hold down the child's little fist and look at the child with a firm look. The child will know that hitting others is wrong and will gradually control his tendency to hit others.

3. Encourage children to express their thoughts as much as possible and understand the motives behind their hitting. In addition to the superficial reasons, are there other reasons, such as whether they have been frustrated by something, or cannot write, draw, or build blocks.

Why do two or three-year-old babies like to hit people?

1. One reason why children hit adults is that their needs are not met and they are in a bad mood. Another reason is to get the attention of adults and to awaken their attention by hitting others.

2. Beating children. Because children have poor language expression ability and cannot communicate well with friends, they beat others when they misunderstand what others mean or when others do not do what they want.

3. Beating oneself is a method of achieving a goal through self-abuse. Initially, it is only for achieving one's own purpose. If it is not well guided, it will become a habit and cause considerable harm to the child.

If a child often likes to hit others, parents must of course stop him/her in time to avoid forming a habit of hitting others. If you don’t know how to discipline your child, you can pay attention to the method above “What to do if your three-year-old baby likes to hit people?” for correct guidance. Children should be encouraged to participate in some public welfare activities, which can also reduce their tendency to hit others.
