Aggression occurs because children are psychologically predisposed to it, they have the following problems:

inability to control one's behavior;
inability to play with peers;
diseases of the nervous system.

In addition, aggression is manifested in children withlow intelligence, who are unable to communicate with others. As a rule, overprotection in the family also leads to destructive behavior. One of the reasons for the hostile behavior of preschoolers is upbringing in a single-parent family. Communication with a parent of the same sex is very important for a child. Boys without a father become cruel, conflict-prone and uncontrollable. Parents should remember that relationships in the family are directly related to the child's behavior. If there are constant quarrels, scandals at home, and relatives achieve everything by force, then the child develops the opinion that this is how it should be. Often, aggressive preschoolers simply copy the behavior of adults.

The first mistake of adults and teachers issuppression of aggression. This should never be done, as hostile thoughts, emotions and a bad mood only accumulate in the child's soul. Sooner or later, an emotional outburst is inevitable. First of all, adults should behave calmly and sensibly. Hostile behavior manifests itself in children because they cannot behave differently. They need to be taught to resolve conflicts peacefully. Parents should show by their own example that any life problems can be solved with the help of positive emotions. The child should feel that he is loved as he is. Teach him restraint and self-control, direct the child's energy in the right direction, for example, active games, sports. Never involve strangers in a conflict with the child, explain the rules of behavior yourself. Engage in joint creativity more often, give only feasible tasks and never ridicule the child. Teach him compassion, get a pet for the child so that he takes care of others. Stop aggression immediately if the child perceives it as a game. Children always have bad behavior and will have it, take it easy. Give your child the opportunity to throw out accumulated energy, let him sing, run or play active games. The kid should understand that by doing something bad he offends others. Do not interfere in children's quarrels - this is a necessary life lesson for a preschooler.
