Nearly every child goes through a stage of hitting or showing other forms of aggression, and research indicates that aggression in toddlers and young children is common. Aggression in young children is usually related to a lack of self-regulation skills rather than malicious intent. Parents can help prevent and manage aggression by praising positive behaviors, teaching communication and coping skills, giving choices, correcting behaviors before aggression occurs, assuming the best of their child, and providing emotional support and setting limits when aggression happens. It's important for parents to manage their own emotions, attend to the victim first, use logical consequences, and encourage apologizing and repairing relationships to effectively address aggression in children.
