About This Course

Periods of aggressive behavior in children is not uncommon and can be part of growing up. A small number of destructive acts or physical altercations in childhood, while alarming to parents, does not necessarily mean that your child has a serious problem. Sometimes aggressive behaviors serve as a defensive mechanism:

Consider a boy who is frequently bullied by other students at recess. He may engage in disruptive or aggressive behaviors in order to be kept inside the classroom during recess.

Is this child the true aggressor? Or is he trying to survive the best way he knows how?

Actions are needed to resolve the issues in a more appropriate manner. Most of these actions can be handled by well informed parents who understand the appropriate tactics for dealing with these situations in positive manner.
