HOW TO AVOID AGGRESSIVE CHILDREN BEHAVIOR
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ASCAP) says that children can show violent behavior, and this is why aggressive children behavior needs to be seriously looked at by parents and teachers alike. These children can deliberately be violent towards others. Behavioral manifestations can include the following: kicking, pushing, biting, throwing objects, punching, hitting, spitting and destroying property. Children exhibiting this aggressive behavior are of low self-esteem and may have emotional problems. Here are ways to handle this behavior, without resorting to extreme physical child disciplining: Encourage your child to behave properly by providing consistent positive feedback for good behavior. Make sure that the childs immediate environment is calm. This will help avoid unnecessary stress to your child. Carefully select the types of TV shows your child watches. Avoid programs that depict violence as entertaining and fun. Channel your childs excess energy towards productive physical activities that will develop acceptable behavior. Make sure that you are also the role model in front of your childs eyes. Help your child control his emotions when he or she is angry. Help him how to deal with his anger. When you have a child with aggressive behavior, make sure you watch him over while he is playing with other children because he or she might hurt other children. opinions
