Verbal aggression and children

The counteraction of children’s aggression is a friendly attitude from parents

While in kindergarten it is normal for children to show aggression in order to test their boundaries, in schools it is not and aggression is not innocent. In schools, it is again a matter of boundaries, of social adaptation, of confrontation with authorities, but it often turns into extreme conflicts, which is because of her sense of impunity. The main advice that can be given is to react to every manifestation with coolness, to state clearly that society does not tolerate violence.

On the other hand, it is very important, when there is aggression from one child to another, to pay attention not only to the victim, but also to the child who is in the role of the aggressor.

This is because most often the person showing aggression does it as a kind of appeal, to show that he himself needs attention.

Verbal aggression should not be underestimated. Very often verbal aggression is interpreted as something shameful, they keep silent, and it is key, because it leads to the next levels of aggression.

It is very important for the children to react at this first manifestation – whether they will tell the student-aggressor in question, whether they will tell the parents or the teachers that this has hurt them in some way”.

How parents should approach their children when they are in the “puberty” phase – it is very important for parents to pay attention to children about each other’s boundaries, as well as about the unacceptable behavior.

It is obvious that educators cannot have control over the lives of their teenagers outside the home, but communication should be key in their relationships, try to give them minimum ethical and social norms.

On the other hand, the parents of the child abuser must also be active, realize what their children’s problem is and give them full support on the way to their improvement.

It’s as if many parents rely on the fact that they themselves are parents and treat their child as such, and the key to a healthy relationship is through showing friendship.
