Recently, a novice parent sent a private message to the teacher: The baby at home, one day I don't know why the sudden aggressive behavior appears, how to deal with it?Today, the teacher is here to answer this question!
1. Strategies for parents to deal with their children's aggressive behavior:
(1) Stay calm
For young children who exhibit aggression, the American Children's Association (AAP) recommends not spanking, harshly reprimanding, or yelling. The smallest response is the best response.
(2) Understand your child's triggers
Tiredness, hunger, overstimulation and stress can all cause children to react badly, and by paying attention to these cues, parents can anticipate aggressive behavior.
(3) Provide physical release
Parents can help their child channel outbursts of anger, energy, or frustration by encouraging their child to engage in an acceptable form of release, giving them a safe physical outlet.
(4) Limit exposure to violence
Allowing children to play with violent toys or similar programs will convince them that violence is acceptable. Therefore, parents should try to avoid letting their children touch toys**. The American Children's Association (AAP) also recommends that bedrooms become no-zones, with no TVs, computers or smartphones, and limit screen time.
2. What causes a child to behave aggressively?
The aggressive behavior of the child can be attributed to a limited vocabulary, an excess of energy reserves, and sometimes simple hunger and fatigue. Even children from easy-going families may attack violently with their feet, fists, or teeth.
It is important to note that just because the child is physically aggressive does not mean that the child will grow up to be a bully. Maturity brings empathy to them, and soon, the child will understand that aggressive behavior can hurt others.
