Why Children Get Aggressive Sometimes
There’s no doubt that parenting can be a tough ask. And what makes it even more difficult is the fact that children can sometimes become aggressive and start biting, pushing or even pulling one’s hair as well.
And while this can really embarrassing for the parents involved, there are a few things that one must understand in order to help their children rid themselves of the aggression that can only isolate from their friends and siblings as well.
Firstly, you must understand that children do not like to be aggressive or mean but actually want to have a nice time with their friends and family. A large part of this desire to socialize with others in the form of play is due to the fact that they feel a connection with others in the normal way. But when this connection is lost, this is when they begin to feel isolated, lost or tensed, and this is when they express themselves aggressively.
For example, if someone close to them like their mother is paying attention to the new baby in the house, and they see one of their friends happy, this is when they automatically lash out at the other kids.
And often these feelings of isolation and fear can happen even if one’s parents are warm and loving as they are the ones who are closest to the child, and in doing so, they can identify why the child behaves in the way they do, and thus guide them away from these problems.
