Helping Kids Manage Aggressive Behavior

Young children may hit, bite, or lash out when they lack the words to express big feelings. Parents can guide them with simple strategies:

✨ Set clear rules and expectations
✨ Praise positive behavior
✨ Model calm responses
✨ Redirect with healthy distractions
✨ Use time-outs only when needed

If aggression lasts for weeks or puts others at risk, reach out to your pediatrician for support.
