My daughter has very aggressive behavior. What are the treatment options for an aggressive child?

Hello, some thoughts. My first question would be, how old is your daughter, and does she have any siblings? Some aggressive behavior is seen in the toddler years and is considered normal. With my own children, and also in the preschools, we emphasize kind touch and show the child what that would feel like if they were to touch kindly their own arm. If we are talking school-age to teen, first modeling kind behavior in the family, and also avoiding aggressive tv or games that the child may be seeing. If you think this behavior is over the top, it would be wise to recruit a counselor or psychologist/psychiatrist to assist with an evaluation, counseling, and medication if needed.
