My 7-year-old still hits me occasionally when very angry, and definitely benefits from heavy sensory stimulation. The one he really likes is when he lies on my bed, I throw a pillow at him from the foot of the bed, and he kicks it away with both feet. You can also try with the duvet! This newsletter was really helpful to remind me that all behaviour is communication, thank you.
Is there advice for the parents of 5 year olds who still hit a lot?
