Defiant Behavior in Violent Children
By Anthony Kane, Md
Let’s speak today on how parents should handle violent tendencies in their children with defiant behavior. What we are basically talking about is how children as young as five or six can, at times, verbally and physically abuse other small children in situations that aren’t going their way. These children, simply put, have violent tendencies, they are violent children. On numerous occasions parents don’t quite understand how to deal with scenarios such as this. Just hoping that the child will automatically get past this phase hardly ever works.
Violent children often grow up bullying other children, end up being violent teenagers, then also end up physically abusing their spouses at some point. This problem requires you aggressively tackle the situation in your child’s formative years. You should ideally associate violent actions with an assortment of consequences. When young children (even 5 or 6) indulge in any form of abuse, it is essential that their behavior be reprimanded. You should explain to your child that whatever occurred is wrong, and you should also tell him of the resultant consequence straight away. By doing this, you make your child understand that problems cannot be solved using violence and defiant behavior, and they then find different socially acceptable ways to mingle into society. You should remember that children that behave well often go on to become well mannered adults. An important thing is that these problems should be addressed at the very onset and you should not expect violent tendencies to disappear automatically. If this problem is not addressed in a timely manner, situations normally worsen. When your children display violent behavior, you should assert a strong effort to evaluate the toys, the videos they are playing with and the TV programs they are watching. There is no lack of violent behavior in even the cartoons your children may be watching on Saturday mornings. Evaluate what they see on a daily basis and then replace any unacceptable toys and programs with acceptable substitutes. Remember that violent toys and television produce violent children. Your child will mimic the behavior. Having an assortment of consequences to deal with your child’s violent, defiant behavior is important. When you use them appropriately you will see that problems such as these can be handled quite effectively. |
