Scripts For Toddlers: When Small Hands Lash Out
Exact words for the moment your toddler hits a sibling or friend, grounded in the Sunnah.
This Week’s Scenario

And your instinct is telling you to hit back, smack their hand, raise your voice so loud they never do it again. The room is waiting for punishment. Your child is waiting for teaching. These are not the same thing.
