"What to Do When You Feel Like Hitting is a great resource for
families. As a parent of two toddlers, I struggle to find the right
way to discipline my children when their behaviors are loud and
clear, such as hitting. This book is a helpful and approachable
resource that parents can use to help instill positive behaviors.
Most importantly, I love how inclusive the book is and the priority
that is placed on including a diverse group of characters. This is
a favorite go-to book in our house as well as a gift I'll be giving
to other parents!" --Alex Turnbull, RDN, LD, author of Baby Food
Cookbook for First-Time Parents
"As a pediatrician, I am so glad to have a resource with specific
advice for toddlers who hit. This book acknowledges hitting is a
normal albeit difficult stage and arms children and parents with
developmentally appropriate language and strategies to help. Well
done!" --Kelly Fradin, MD, FAAP pediatrician, author, and mother of
two
"Dr. Cara Goodwin does a beautiful job writing in toddler-friendly
language and highlighting all the important points a caregiver
should cover when it comes to hitting: feelings and self-regulation
skills they can practice. I am happy to add this book to the
resources I recommend to parents and caregivers." --Michelle
Tangeman, LMFT, BCBA, founder of Thriving Toddler and Michelle
Tangeman Behavioral Health
"Dr. Goodwin has managed to normalize a wide range of children's
feelings while offering a diverse range of concrete coping skills,
all in child-friendly language. This book is an incredible tool for
families to use with their children with big feelings to build
resilience and emotion regulation skills. The level of inclusivity
and representation in this book is a refreshing inspiration. We
highly recommend this book for families, clinicians, and teachers
who are helping little ones navigate their big feelings." --Dr.
Shanna Alvarez and Dr. Jenna Elgin, psychologists and co-founders
of Helping Families Thrive
"Dr. Goodwin's book creates a fantastic dialogue for us to teach
our children various ways to regulate their emotions, which in turn
helps them stop hitting. It is a great addition to a child's
bookshelf!" --Cindy Hovington, PhD, founder of Curious Neuron
"This book is beautifully written and illustrated for young
children to engage their attention while teaching strategies for
self-regulation, a critical skill to last a lifetime. Dr. Goodwin
packages years of evidence-based research on promoting positive
behaviors in young children into language kids can understand and
techniques parents can use at home. A must-have addition to any
parent's library." --Emily Edlynn, PhD, clinical psychologist,
parenting columnist for Parents.com, and author of The Art and
Science of Mom blog
