|
|

Aggressive Behavior in Toddlers & Preschoolers:
|
 Young children don’t know the rules of the house until they’re taught them, so that is one of your important parenting responsibilities.
- Teach them not to kick, hit, or bite when they are angry.
- Teach them how to express their feelings through words instead.
- There’s nothing wrong with using a time-out.
- Watch your own behavior and control your temper around your child.
