How should we guide a child who likes to hit others in kindergarten?

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she feels dizzy and has a headache. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but I just see that she isn't in good spirits. If a child in kindergarten likes to hit others, how should I guide them?

Doctor's answer:

When a baby hits, the parent's attitude and actions at that moment are very important. Parents should treat the baby with a calm demeanor, neither showing happiness nor scolding severely, nor using rough methods to stop them. Instead, they can divert the baby's attention and explain things to them once they have calmed down.
In daily life, parents should actively teach the baby proper ways to express emotions, such as showing affection by kissing or gently touching them.
Additionally, parents should often communicate with the baby, play with them, and help develop their optimistic and cheerful personality. Encourage the baby to participate in social activities and parent-child activities to learn interpersonal skills. Let the baby watch healthy TV content, and watch with them while explaining things as they go.
It is especially important to note that parents must always be mindful of their own words and actions, as they greatly influence the baby's behavior patterns. Parents, in particular, should set a good example with their behavior and avoid letting rude or inappropriate actions affect the baby. Of course, it is also necessary to prevent and treat lead poisoning and imbalances in various trace elements.
