Article: Younger children, generally between the ages of two and four, may have a hard time expressing their thoughts and feelings because their communications skills are not fully developed. This inability to communicate may lead to violent behavior as a means to express themselves. This aggressive behavior will most likely decrease as your child grows older and learns how to express themselves without resorting to violence. Girls tend to have more of a control over their anger, while boys often express themselves physically by punching or fighting. However, verbal aggression is more common in girls. This verbal aggression comes in the forms of name-calling, teasing, or gossiping, as well as nonverbal cues like eye-rolling or ignoring someone. Each child differs in how they handle their temper, just as each child will react differently to the same stimuli. Children's temperaments are generally classified as either "easy" or "difficult". Children with "easy" temperaments tend to display positive emotions and are generally adaptable to different situations. Children with "difficult" temperaments tend to show negative emotions and do not adapt well to new situations. Often, the way that a child handles a situation depends on how they have seen their family resolve a similar conflict. Because of this, it is important to take your own behavior into consideration when trying to understand your child's aggressive behavior. Different forms of discipline can have different affects on children because children tend to mimic their parents or caregivers. If children are exposed to even mildly aggressive forms of discipline, they may develop these aggressive behaviors themselves. Try to maintain a fair and consistent form of discipline that does not involve violence in any way. There are some health related problems and conditions that could affect a child and make them display aggressive behavior. For example, children with ADHD may display abrupt and aggressive behaviors due to impulsivity and trouble with emotional control. Children who do not get enough sleep, or are having trouble sleeping at night may display more aggressive behaviors. This is because they are overtired, making them cranky and more prone to violent outbursts.

Article: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the shaped sopes on the lined baking sheet. Cook them in your preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until they feel firm to the touch. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space in between each sope when you arrange them on the baking sheet. Unlike fried sopes, baked sopes won't gain much color after being cooked through. As long as the sopes are firm, however, they should be ready to use and enjoy. Once the sopes have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and set them aside in a warm area while you prepare the filling. It's a good idea to cover the sopes with a clean, dry kitchen towel to help them hold in more heat.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Bake the sopes for 10 minutes. Keep warm.
