I'm really touched by the love and ...Dear You,<br /><br />I'm really touched by the love and understanding you show your child - knowing that she is lashing out not because she is a 'bad' kid but because she is overwhelmed by emotions. Your thinking is backed up by the latest in neuroscience that shows when we are flooded with feeling our pre-frontal cortex shuts off and we act impulsively. So your kind attention to your daughter at those terrible times when she's 'losing it' and lashing out is exactly what she needs to bring her back to her innate ability to co-operate and join in. Reading you blog I wonder if you have heard of the Hand in Hand Parenting approach to hitting and tantrums? It has made about %1000 difference for me in handling my little girl's tantrums! Check out Patty Wipfler's wonderfully helpful and practical article '3 Tools to Stop the Hitting':<br /><br />http://www.handinhandparenting.org/news/199/64/3-Tools-To-Stop-The-Hitting<br /><br />The ideas and tools described so clearly and compassionately in the article, based on 30 years of experience, will radically resolve the hitting and tension you describe your daughter carrying.<br /><br />Good luck, and courage, for all those hours of loving kindness you show your children - and all at the same time as thinking through the best way to show them that love. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in your blog,<br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />Anna Cole, PhD<br />Licensed Facilitator of a Celebration Day for Girls &<br />Parenting by Connection Instructor-in-training, 2012 Anna Colehttp://superprotectivefactor.com/noreply@blogger.com
