Child Aggression

Aggression in children is often developmental and can manifest in various forms and at different developmental stages, from preschoolers to teenagers. Sometimes this can look like aggression between siblings or peers or even toward adults. Rest assured, there are always things that can be done, the first step is understanding the underlying causes and then applying appropriate interventions. This is crucial for parents and educators to address and manage aggressive behaviors effectively. As a child behavior specialist, I can assist in discovering the underlying cause of the aggression and also support you with techniques and strategies to manage it. Whether that be in the classroom or home setting.  Respecting the uniqueness of each family and child and their needs allows me to curate a plan that works for each unique circumstance.  

Children who are diagnosed with ADHD feel their emotions intensely which can often result in more expressions of aggression.  Though challenging and exhausting, aggression in children with ADHD can also be managed. The first step is to connect with a Child Behavior Specialist who can help you further develop your understanding, build your tool kit, and assist you in supporting your child to build lifelong skills to help manage their emotions.
