What’s It About
Parenting has its ups and downs but it can be heartbreaking when you find out one sibling is hitting another. This happens when young Charlie finds his younger sister playing with his favorite toy, his fire truck. Worried that she will break his toy or play with it roughly, he tries to stop his sister, hitting her in the process. Young Pia is hurt, not only by the hit itself but that her brother would strike her. When Mom comes in, she uses some incredible descalating techniques to help both children in this challenge.
Parents will love the de-escalation process and how the mother in this book deals with hitting. Dr. Becky articulately and respectfully goes into the mind of the child who is hitting and what is going through their thoughts before they hit. Once we as parents know “the why”, we can help solve the problem and keep everyone safe. That’s My Truck takes parents on that journey.
