“How do you treat aggressive behavior in children?”

Try to find out the reason for aggression, if you cannot find it talk to a counselor hoping they could understand their issues, if not consult psychiatrist as there are so many approaches depending on the aggression which it is associated with. Good luck.

There are many different approaches to treating aggression in children. You could take a behaviorist/operant conditioning approach and opt for *negative punishment*, meaning that each time your child transgresses you remove an existing reward or something they find intrinsically pleasurable or meaningful (i.e., a favorite game, toy, or activity). You could also model a more appropriate response or reaction (if the aggressive behavior happens under specific consequences) and explain why their behavior is inappropriate, and then proceed to reinforce the new behavior by offering a reward each time they demonstrate it (i.e., “I’ll add $1 to your weekly allowance each time you act this way instead of this way”). This is called *positive reinforcement*. Possibly the most effective method of mitigating aggressive behavior might be through psychoeducation; you help your child identify the emotion they’re feeling, recognize triggers, and help them understand the correlation between the negative consequences and the emotion that precipitated it. I have some worksheets you can use if you wish to utilize this approach. Feel free to email me. Hope this helps!
