Back to Episodes358 No Hitting, No Biting, No Thank You: Tackling Aggression.
Description
Aggression in young children—whether it’s biting, hitting, screaming, or throwing—isn’t just a “phase” to ignore. It’s a signal that a child is struggling to manage emotions, communicate needs, or feel in control. As a childcare director, your role is to support your team in responding with compassion, skill, and consistency—so we can teach kids what to do, not just what not to do. In this episode, we’re diving into how to prevent aggressive behaviors, respond effectively in the moment, and build a team that’s confident in handling big emotions.
