About this listen
If your toddler is hitting, spitting, or melting down and you feel lost, overwhelmed, or ashamed—you’re not alone. In this episode, Emily unpacks what hitting really means developmentally, why it’s not a sign of “bad parenting,” and how to respond with strength, love, and emotional safety.
Drawing from real-life coaching conversations, she shares practical tools you can start today: stepping away from negative behavior without withdrawing love, giving your child words for their big feelings, understanding their developing brain, and offering connection—even when they “don’t deserve it.”
You’ll walk away with a fresh sense of peace, powerful mindset shifts, and simple steps to help your home stay rooted in grace while teaching your toddler how to treat others with gentleness and respect.
