The Child Who HoiWthsen

What To D arent You Are The hPild’. of ‘That C By Dr Alison McClymont

When my eldest daughter was 2 years old, she used to go to a little baby ballet class. It began at 9 and ended at 10 and, every week at 9:45 on the dot, she would take the star she had been holding whilst pretending to be the sugar plum fairy or whatever, and would hit another kid over the head with it. Sometimes she would simply smack them in the face, but one week she grabbed a whole fistful of another child’s cheek. The worst part was she often chose the same child, who was a very sweet and gentle little girl. It got to the point where I would start getting up to leave at 9:40 and would be internally dancing with joy if we got to 9:46 and she hadn’t hit anyone. She fooled me once by lasting until 9:59 - but she ended that ballet class by smacking two children at once whilst running to get her sticker. One time a mother of a child she had hit came up to me and suggested that “maybe it wasn’t normal and maybe I should consult a professional”. I mumbled embarrassedly that I was a “professional”.

Looking back now, I wish I had said something more assertive, but the reality is that it’s embarrassing to be the mum of the child “that hits others kids”. So what did I do? At 9:43am I would take her outside and give her a snack. We would sit and have a minute together and I’d ask her if she wanted to go back in or was she done with dancing for today? This might sound like a basic and even non-sensical strategy to deal with hitting by offering a cut up apple and a biscuit but it worked. Children who hit, particularly those who are under 5, are often hitting because they don’t have the ability to articulate how they feel. They might be hungry, tired, frustrated or something else. What matters is the way we react to the hitting. If we’re too punitive, then we run the risk of overstimulating the child’s central nervous system though fear, which can cause them to no longer absorb information. But too lenient and the July-Sept 2022 Toddle About Suffolk 13

child has no understanding of the boundaries of hitting, so the behaviour continues or, even worse, escalates to get a larger reaction. Children watch reactions like a hawk and if you give them one that they find intriguing, chances are they will repeat the behaviour.

How to Stop Your Child Hitting

Remove the child from the situation. This is a clear signal that what they have done is not ok and we need to talk about it.

In real terms, if you begin screaming or berating your child for hitting, they might find this reaction amusing: mummy’s face looks funny and so does her voice. If the child hits out of frustration and you give in to this demand, they will more than likely do it again as they believe they have found a way to bend you to their will. If you are distracted and offer only a nonchalant, “Oh don’t do that,” they may well escalate the behaviour in order to actually get a reaction from you.

2 3

Come down to their level and say firmly, “We do not hit. Hitting hurts people.”

4 5

Return to the activity. Do this when the child is calmer, and only then.

Encourage the child to self-regulate. Younger children might need a cuddle to do this, or even a snack – likely, hitting was a display that they felt dysregulated and scared by something. If the child is older than 4, ask the child to breathe with you and hold their hand whilst they do it.

Acknowledge the friend they have hit, and either say sorry or think of something kind they can do for that friend. Whilst some psychologists do not advocate for “forced apologies”, I believe it is a good reinforcement of the message – regardless of the provocation, violence is not ok.

ADVERTORIAL

Important reasons why parents need to make a Will:

You choose who would look after your children. As well as taking care of your assets, a Will allows you to nominate who would look after your children. It is the ONLY way to appoint legal guardians. If guardians aren’t nominated, social services could make those decisions.

FUTURE LIFE

You specify where your wealth goes. If you don’t have a Will in place, it’s a very real possibility that your assets wouldn’t go where you would want them to – and there could be lengthy waits for your financial arrangements to be processed through Probate, while the children still need financial and emotional support. Having your affairs in order is key - even if you are married, but especially if you‘re not married to your partner.

Future Life are Will writing specialists for parents of young children. Helping thousands of parents protect the ones they love. When you have little ones who are financially dependent upon you, getting your financial and emotional wishes in place legally is crucial – to avoid lengthy disputes and financial worries should anything happen.

Who gets the family heirlooms? What charities are important to you? Do you want to leave any money to friends or distant family members? Writing a Will is the only way to ensure your wishes are achieved.

We’re a family business with children of our own, so we know how important it is to talk to someone who really understands your situation.

Future Life Wills have a special promotion for Toddle About readers - offering FREE Will writing for 2 people. Visit www.future-life-wills.co.uk to claim the offer today by messaging us your contact details and using voucher code TA0722.

Fruit Tarts Ingredients:

(For the pastry) • 84g plain flour, plus a little extra for dusting • 56g baking spread • 14g caster sugar • A few drops of water • 2 tsps jam mixed with 1 tsp water (For the filling / topping) • 85ml double cream • 1 dessert spoon lemon curd • Blueberries and raspberries (or your fruit of choice)

Equipment:

• Mixing bowl • Muffin or pie tin • Cooling rack • Rolling pin, fork & spoon • Pastry cutter or mug (8cm dia) • Pastry brush (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°/ 170° fan or gas mark 5.

2. In a large mixing bowl, rub the flour and butter together with your fingers until it resembles sand.

3. Add the sugar and a few drops of cold water and mix together with a fork or your hands until it forms a smooth dough. If too wet add more flour, if too crumbly add a drop of water.

4. Flour your work surface and roll the pastry out until 2mm thick.

5. Cut out your circles. Depending on the thickness of your pastry you should get 6-8 circles.

6. Prepare your baking tin by rubbing butter over the holes and then sprinkling flour in them.

7. Tip out any excess flour and then place your pastry in the holes.

8. Prick with a fork and then bake for 8 minutes, until they are beginning to turn light brown.

9. Allow them to cool and then brush with the jam mixture.

10. In a second small bowl, mix the cream and lemon curd until nicely combined. Share this between the pastry cases, and top with the fruit of your choice.

7 Ways

to Help Your Child Cope with Change By Liat Hughes Joshi

Preschool children can find change especially difficult – they’re too little to understand what’s going on or to have any control over the bigger aspects of the situation. They might well not even be able to articulate their feelings. Whether it’s a family change such as the arrival of a new sibling, or moving house or school, here are some ways to help them cope:

When you know change is coming, get your little one used to the idea a short while in advance by talking about what’s going to happen and building familiarity with their new circumstances. Timing is important here, so don’t do this weeks before as that won’t be meaningful to them (the exception being pregnancy where they will notice your bump obviously!) If they’re moving home or nursery/ preschool, take them to see the new place, and point out some of the features of it they might like. If that’s not possible, show them photos and videos online.

Let them have some basic involvement in whatever is going on in relevant, age-appropriate ways. So if you’re moving house, can they choose something (minor and inexpensive) for their room? If they’re changing nursery or school, perhaps a new bag?

too much or for too long. Again, those firm boundaries help your child feel secure. And definitely draw the line at any hitting out/ biting at you or others too – it’s fine to be upset or angry at some bad event but it’s never okay to take it out on other people physically.

Don’t make assumptions about how your child feels about the change – instead observe how they’re reacting and if they’re a little older listen to what they say about it. It might be quite different to how you or their sibling would have reacted at their age.

Offer extra cuddles and a little more attention. When there’s a lot going on, it can be tricky to spend time with your child but, whenever you can, make sure you find part of the day to give them your undivided attention, to cuddle and chat and help them feel like you’re there for them.

Look after yourself too – when times are tough it’s tempting to focus solely on helping your child but, if you’re to be in the best position to do that, you need to take care of you. Don’t feel guilty about this; perhaps find someone to look after your little one so you can offload on a friend or family member, or go for a walk to contemplate what’s going on.

Keep to their usual routines as much as possible through the change – this stability will help them feel secure, but also sticking to regular eating and sleep times will ensure they don’t get grouchy through hunger or tiredness.

Give them a little leeway if they ‘play up’ behaviour-wise – they might be upset by whatever is going on. But don’t abandon all rules
