When Your Toddler Hits, Bites, or Kicks…
It’s jarring.
One moment they’re fine. The next--smack!
They bite your arm. Kick their sibling. Hit the dog.
You freeze. Or snap. Or wonder:
-
“Is something wrong with my child?”
-
“Am I failing as a parent?”
-
“What if this gets worse?”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And your toddler isn’t broken or "mean".
I’m Layne, and I'm here to help.
I spent years wrangling toddlers in the classroom (mostly two-year-olds, often 12 at a time--jealous?) and I know what it feels like to be hit, kicked, or bitten by a child who doesn’t yet have better tools to express their intense feelings.
I’ve coached hundreds of families through this exact struggle. And though you may not believe it now, there is another side.
"Layne's experience and expertise has completely shifted my mindset around toddlerhood and allowed me to feel more empowered and validated as a mom. Working with her is filled with encouragement, accountability, and real life tips that actually work with little kids!"

the reframe that changes everything:
Aggression isn’t a sign that your child is bad or destined for trouble.
It’s a sign they’re alive.
Healthy aggression is a natural part of the circuitry every human is born with. It’s tied to drive, creativity, exploration, tenacity, and self-protection. It’s how your toddler says: “I'm here. My needs matter.”
The problem? At 1,2,3 years old, toddlers don’t have the tools to express this in appropriate ways. So it comes out as hitting parents, kicking the dog, biting friends, pinching the new baby...
And if you’re at your wit’s end, take a breath.
The fact that you’ve made it this far means you’re close to a solution that feels better for everyone. Your kid is lucky to have you, and so are we.
In this course, I’ll show you how to:
-
Recognize why prohibitions (“don’t hit”) backfire, and what works instead
-
Understand aggression as part of whole-child development (not just “bad behavior”)
-
Investigate your own relationship with aggression so you can guide your child without fear or shame
-
Respond in the moment with calm, confident tools
-
Redirect your toddler’s natural aggression into healthy physical outlets; ways they CAN safely express their intense emotions

This isn’t about quick fixes or spot-cleaning behaviors you don’t like.
It's about seeing your whole child, embracing their natural development, and stepping into leadership that protects, redirects, and builds better skills in the long run.
