“I’m pretty sure my 3 yo likes to be violent… what is up with that?” “Let me break this down…. A 3 yo may seem to enjoy being violent because it is one way they like to play. At 3 years old, they have a limited understanding of the thoughts and feelings of others. A lot of children respond with laughter when they hurt someone and the person reacts. This could be an anxious reaction, like “oh I anticipated this to be fun but they seem unhappy. I am confused so my body is laughing nervously trying to figure out the situation.” They may also laugh because they thought the reaction was funny.” J. Milburn Tips - Make sure you don’t send mixed messages to younger children by reacting in a silly or fun way to behaviours you don’t want to encourage. Example: baby hits Grandpa on the arm at the table, Grandpa makes a big silly reaction to make baby laugh, it’s hysterical for baby and everyone else so they hit Grandpa again and it continues. Two years later they hit Grandpa, hoping to bond and connect, laugh and play and they are met with disapproval… it’s confusing for young minds trying to understand others emotions while regulating their own, at the same time. - At the same time, don’t avoid rough housing, rather use rough-and-tumble play as a chance to learn about boundaries and safety. For more tips on how to respond to toddlers aggression get Session 4 of our Toddler Workshop Series, where we explain why children do this, why it’s hard for them to stop themselves, why it can be so emotionally triggering for parents and what to do about all of that.

I would not take these things away but rather offer them a safe space to explore these concepts and experiment. Again, it can be an opportunity to learn how to engage in this sort of play in a safe way.
