Janowitz believes violence prevention should begin as early as kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers are not equipped to spot problems. As a society, it's not in our consciousness that bad behavior starts early. If you have a child that is continually hitting other children, you have an aggressive kid and that needs to be addressed. Addressing violent behavior early can be difficult because children act out their feelings rather than talk about them, Winter says.
Parents have to be involved.
