Tips for handling child aggression


Already in the previous post wesaw how aggression in preschool and kindergarten kids is a response and anormal at this age. However, the witness that our child is aggressive it isbest to take some steps, so I bring you some tips for this situation.

The first is that we must respondquickly when they see the child become aggressive. It is ok to wait until hehas beaten his brother to tell him the third time is wrong. For example, if youare playing with others and attacks someone it is best to remove it for amoment, about five minutes to understand that every time you do you will lose abit of fun.


No matter how angry that theparent is not wise to yell or ill treat small. Because that instead of teachingthat their behavior is inappropriate, he said that physical and verbal attacksare the way to respond when you are angry.

Another tip is, as far aspossible, always respond to their attacks in the same way. As predictable asthey are the parents, the sooner you recognize it and wait for a response tobad behavior. Sooner or later will realize that when he shows aggression willbe punished.

When the child calms down, wemust try to discuss what just happened. The best time is to do right after hecalms down, but not much time to forget what happened. One must ask if you canexplain that led him to be aggressive and tell that it is natural upsetsometimes, but that is not okay to bite, kick and make fists.

You can suggest better ways toexpress how angry it's like kicking a ball, giving his fists a pillows, find anadult to serves as mediator in the situation or simply using the words.
