Violent Behavior in Children and Adolescents

The incidence of violence against children and young people is very worried. Parents, teachers, and other adults need to understand this complex and troubling problem.

Children as young as preschool children can show violent behavior. Parents and other adults who see this behavior may worry, but they are hoping that this infant will "grow from there." Violence of children of all ages should always be taken seriously. It should not be dismissed as soon as "it is just the stage they are experiencing".

Violence in children and adolescents may involve a variety of actions: tempers of temper, physical attacks, combat, threats or attempts to hurt other people (including killing others), use of weapons, animals Destroy abuse, fire, deliberate property, destroy property

Many studies show that complex interactions and combinations of factors can lead to increased risk of violence in children and adolescents. These factors are as follows.

Combination of socio-economic factors of stressful families (poverty, serious deprivation, breakdown of spouse, care of one parent, unemployment, loss of support from extended family)

Children with multiple risk factors and behaving like the following need to be carefully evaluated.

Parents and other adults should be scheduled immediately so that they are fully appraised by qualified mental health experts. Early treatment by experts is usually helpful. The aim of the treatment is usually to help the child: learn how to control his / her anger; express anger and frustration in an appropriate way; be responsible for his / her behavior; and accept the results. In addition, we have to tackle family conflicts, school problems, and community issues.

Studies have shown that if the above risk factors are significantly reduced or eliminated, it can reduce or even prevent multiple violent behaviors. The most important thing is that efforts should be made to reduce the exposure of children, youth to violence by family, community and media. Obviously, violence leads to violence

Monitor children's violent events on the screen, such as the Internet, tablet, smartphone, TV, video, movies etc

Scientific studies therefore indicate that there is a link between media violence and violence against children and adolescents, and there is also a link between exposure to the media and obesity, as well as negative sexuality . Since it contains the effect on violence, the mass media has joined the list of identified child violence - the history of poverty, racial discrimination, insufficient supervision and violence. However, to fully understand the scope of this contribution, further work is required. Regarding contribution to obesity and sexual behavior, it is actually necessary to conduct more and more extensive research in different populations to fully understand these potential relationships. Furthermore, many of these studies focus on young children and different age groups, so we need more youth focused research.

Animal cruelty is one of the three elements of McDonald's triad and behavior is considered to be one of the signs of violent anti-social behavior in children and adolescents. According to studies used to form models, animal abuse is a common (but not universal) behavior for children and adolescents developing to continuous killers and other violent criminals. We also know that cruel children in animals often witness or become victims of abuse. In two independent studies cited by the American Road Association, about one-third of domestically abused households said at least one child was injured or killed by at least one pet.
