Helping you with sibling fights, tantrums and misbehaviour so you can enjoy parenting.
When “just breath” doesn’t work!
I love to chat with my clients about anger. First of all, because I consider myself a recovering yelling mom.
Yes, this is my waterfall metaphor, and YES you should share it with your kids. It can really help them visualize the concept of “catching” their anger before it’s too late.
Tell me if this idea is helpful for you.💕

Seeing your child hit their sibling is probably one of the hardest parenting moments.
You might feel angry, protective, resentful, hopeless, worried, frustrated and sad all at once.
Aggression between siblings can often be about more than just a lack of impulse control. It can be hurt feelings underneath that have nowhere to go.
The aggression continues when shame, resentment and jealousy build instead of skills. Your hitting child doesn’t want to be bad, they are struggling too.
The Sibling Hitting Method is a lesson from inside my full sibling program, now available on its own. This method will walk you through my signature CRIES Framework to understand hitting in a brand new way and give you exact instructions on what to do.

It’s HARD not to over-react
When one of your kids hits or gets aggressive with their sibling, it is really hard to stay composed.
Mama bear instinct comes out and we want to protect our kids (even from each other)
We think that our kids won’t know it’s bad and wrong if we don’t yell, threaten or punish them
But the truth is, our kids are not likely missing that information. They are missing skills.
And big over the top reactions keep our kids in their emotional brain, where logic and reasoning and learning are gone.
So in order to teach our kids right from wrong and what to do next time, they have to be able to get their thinking brain back online.
Yelling, threatening and “NO hitting” is not going to create that safety in the brain that they need.
But this is a struggle, let me know if you are having a hard time with it.
