Aggressive Behaviors in Preschoolers

June 29, 2011 – 6:43 am

Dealing with aggressiveness in young children requires a solid understanding of the potential causes. Although preschoolers genuinely desire to cooperate with adults at this age, they are not always able to pinpoint the reasons for their sudden aggressive behavior.

Most commonly these actions include hitting, biting, kicking, pushing, head butting and tearing another child’s clothes or hair. A temper tantrum that has the child howling on the ground with flailing limbs is not a sign of aggression; but it may be a precursor for the behavior, if the child chooses to act out against a passing child.
