child aggression

Your child’s behavior may have an underlying cause that needs attention. Here are  tips on how to control aggression that may erupt in your child from time to time.

Stay calm

When a child is expressing a lot of emotion, and the parents meet that with more emotion, it can increase the child’s aggression.

Find appropriate rewards

Rewards like choosing what the family eats for dinner, or selecting what the family watches may be appropriate for the child.  

Don’t support aggressive behavior

Parents can support children’s aggressive behavior by yielding to their requests all the time.  For example,  if your child is having a tantrum at the grocery store because she wants a particular cereal, you may not   give in and buy it. This is rewarding, and reinforces the inappropriate behavior.  

Reward good behavior

Reward good behavior, even when your child isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary.

 Identify child’s patterns and riggers

 If tantrums happen every morning before school then work on structuring your morning routine. Break down tasks into simple steps, and give time warnings, such as We’re leaving in 10 minutes. Set goals, such as making it to school on time four days out of five. Then reward your child when he or she meets those goals.
