Violence among some children has become so prevalent that their parents are actually afraid that they will be attacked or killed by their own children. Violent kids can also hit their siblings, break things around the house and torture animals. Once you understand the reasons your child is violent, you can help him stop. Learning why children become violent also allows you to prevent your child from becoming violent.

As a child becomes older, it becomes less and less acceptable for him to act violently or throw temper tantrums when he does not get his way. People usually expect a toddler to throw a tantrum when upset, because he has not yet learned how to effectively communicate what he wants. An older child or preteen who throws tantrums or uses violence to express his anger has learned that violence is an effective method for getting what he wants. It may be difficult, but you can put a stop to a child’s violent behavior.
