Angel At School Hits At Home for 10/27/2017
Dear Family Coach
Dear Family Coach: My 6-year-old daughter hits either me or her brother when she gets frustrated or doesn’t get her way. I’ve tried everything to teach her that hitting isn’t acceptable. She always has excellent behavior at school. I’m a single mother who works, and I try my best. What am I doing wrong? – Punching Bag Mom
Dear Mom: Your daughter is a perfect angel at school. I’m sure she becomes frustrated there, yet she doesn’t hit anyone. That’s because she knows hitting is not acceptable behavior. There are likely firm consequences and no-nonsense policies set in place at school. At home, it’s probably a different story.
