With the lurking resentment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/keys-to-mindful-parenting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">aggressive behavior<\/mark><\/a> is often the result. In such a scenario when the parents react with a timeout, it almost always confirms the child\u2019s fear that the parents prefer the sibling and that things were so much better before the sibling was born. While this does not mean that a firm limit should not be set against the child\u2019s violent behavior, punishments alone can often aggravate the bad behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reconnect_with_the_child\"><\/span><strong>Reconnect with the child<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it is through play, reading or any other method that works positive parenting necessitates that you find a way to reconnect with the child. It is important for the child to know that he or she is valued. More often than not, it is a feeling of being displaced that leads the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/tips-to-help-your-child-manage-anger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">child to act aggressively<\/mark><\/a>. It is therefore very important to build trust and connection. That would mean spending quality time with the child without any distractions. That half-hour that you may spend with him being the center of your world can go a long way in positively impacting his self-worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Help_the_child_voice_their_emotions\"><\/span><strong>Help the child voice their emotions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative that you allow the child to open up and share his or her feelings. You could, for example, use a book as a prompt to get the discussion underway. It is important to ensure that the story that you read out conveys that while feelings are allowed, unkind actions aren\u2019t. Helping the child past his anger to his fears is the only way to address the real issue that lies beneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Offer_ways_to_handle_feelings\"><\/span><strong>Offer ways to handle\nfeelings.&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of making the child feel like a terrible person for having hit the sibling, offer him or her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/sibling-rivalry-and-what-you-can-do-as-a-parent\/\">some alternate ways to handle his feelings<\/a>. For example, instead of sending the child for a time out, you could allow her to choose her own time out area to calm down and feel better. The child could also take to drawing or running to calm himself down.&nbsp; What you are doing for the child is not just helping him handle the current situation but also offer a blueprint for handling life\u2019s disappointments without resorting to aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_to_respond_not_react\"><\/span><strong>Learn to respond, not react<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever so often when the elder child hits the younger, the instant reaction is to get extremely upset and address the older child. The fact is that you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/sibling-favoritism-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">comfort the sibling who is hurt first<\/mark><\/a>. It is from this nurturing space that you need to address the elder sibling, helping him or her to deal with his emotions. By explaining that hitting is hurtful for the younger child (instead of just calling it a bad act), you will also be able to build a sense of empathy in the child for the sibling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinforce_positive_behavior\"><\/span><strong>Reinforce positive behavior<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you do tend to react to negative behavior do take time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/positive-parenting-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">reinforce the positive<\/mark><\/a>. Telling the child that he made the sibling laugh or that you noticed how he shared his toy will go a long way in building a bond between the two. You could also encourage the sibling bond by playing games in which the two of them are on the same team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_the_older_child_responsibilities\"><\/span><strong>Give the older child responsibilities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving the older child age-appropriate responsibilities can also help\nthe child develop a bond with his younger sibling. So you could ask the older\nsibling to get fresh nappies for \u201cour baby\u201d or bring the baby\u2019s favorite toy.\nWhen done right, this could help the child feel important and an integral part\nof the sibling\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Model_Good_Behavior_at_Home\"><\/span><strong>Model Good Behavior at Home<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important that you aren\u2019t modelling aggressive behavior by way of handling situations at home. If you do, aggression could be the child\u2019s default option whenever he or she is in a frustrating situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing that you will need to do as a parent is to be patient and\nto know that with your empathetic approach, this phase will pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your three-year-old is playing with her younger sibling when, suddenly, out of nowhere, she hits her hard.
