Your child is three, and nobody has told you what to do with your hands.The daycare called. Or you were hit in the face by somebody you made, in your own hallway, and you swallowed it and finished the bath. And then at eleven o'clock at night you looked up something that made it worse, because half of what you found said it was a phase and the other half said it was a warning sign.Here is what the research actually shows: physical aggression in small children peaks somewhere between the second and fourth birthdays and then comes down for the large majority of children, as language and self-control arrive. Most parents buying this book think they are watching the beginning of something. They are much more often watching the middle of something that is nearly over.But knowing that does not help you at twenty to five in the afternoon. That is what this book is for.In The Unfrazzled Parent's Guide to Hitting and Biting, you'll get the plan nobody hands you: Block, name, move - exactly what to do with your hands in the ten seconds after a hit, and the six words to say while you do itWord-for-word scripts for the flashpoints: the park, the playdate, the hallway, the bath, and the call from daycareWhy forced apologies backfire, what to do in the ten minutes afterward instead, and the research on what children actually learn from a coerced sorryThe chapter no other book writes: what to do when it's you they hit, and why that hurts out of all proportion to the slapKeeping the baby safe, with clear supervision tiers for the weeks when two children cannot be alone togetherBiting, which follows different rules and frightens everyone more, including first aid and what to say to the other parentAn honest chapter on when it doesn't fade: the real red flags, at what age, and how to ask for help and be taken seriouslyYour own anger, handled with compassion and without a lecture, for the evening you already lost your temperA 7-day reset, one small change a day, and a one-page version for the fridgeWarm, judgment-free, and clinically grounded. Every research claim in the book is sourced at the back, including the places where the evidence is thinner than the confident version you may have read elsewhere.Your child is not turning into someone frightening. He is learning what to do with a furious body, and you are the person teaching him.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/522/9798165223402_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.99", "online_price" : "12.99", "our_price" : "12.99", "club_price" : "12.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
