It's important to guide and discipline children so that they feel supported and valued, not judged and rejected. We can help by being consistent with children in words and deeds. Children appreciate knowing just what the rules are at home or in the classroom. That way they know where they stand and the consequences of their behavior. It's important to approach aggressive behavior according to the age of each youngster.
Children behave differently at different ages.
Physical aggression of one kind or another is very common in the early years. It is an unavoidable part of the developmental process. Preventing problems before they start is the ideal thing to do. Rather than suddenly stopping an activity, warn children in advance that time is almost up. Our goal is to teach our children how to solve their own problems since, as adults, they won't have a teacher or a parent to settle their differences.
