Child Choices Affecting Aggressive Behavior

Improved Essays
The method I would use to redirect a child that is constantly hitting other child will be; I will start of by talking to the child first and see if the child is available to solve the problem own its own, by not hitting anybody. So, he can learn how to solve problems on his own instead of always needing an adult. But, if nothing changes and if the aggression behavior continuous then I will offer the child choices, for example I give him a choose of being the first on to line up the door for a whole week since he enjoys being the first in line or that he could be the lunch helper for several days, since helping during meal times is one of the things he will do every day with no complains. Since, offering the child choices that he enjoys doing

    For this extended assignment I have chosen to look at how behaviour may affect children's or young people's development. Negative behaviour can be seen when the children's and young people's needs are not being met such as lack of sleep and when they are hungry. Difficult behaviour can be caused by a trauma or a crisis that has happened in the child's life. Children may show this kind of behaviour because they want to be the centre of attention or if they are not getting their own way and they may behave inappropriately in order to get their own way. Other examples that could affect children's behaviour include if a member of the family in the child's life such as mother or father has left and they may think that it's their fault .Also…

    The goal of the guns, testosterone, and aggression research report was to test whether interacting with guns increased testosterone levels and later aggressive behaviors. The researchers used 30 male college students from the age of 18 to 22 as their subject, getting extra credit in return. To protect the results of the experiment, subjects were told they would be participating in an experiment that examined taste sensitivity in males. Since their saliva would be taken for hormone analysis, subjects were asked not to eat, drink, smoke, or brush 1 hour before testing. After sitting 6-ml of saliva into a cup their testosterone levels were tested.…

    Stoop down and with a low yet stern voice and expression repeat "NO" a few times. Your child will throw tantrums, bring the roof down but they will soon calm down too if only you do not lose your patience and remain calm yet assertive. Even if it takes a while for your child to acknowledge the right behavior, you wait. Children while growing up tend to bite or suddenly hit you and that's not because they are violent..…

    Everyone raises their children differently, but what is the right way to raise a child? Should you be a tough disciplinarian who never lets their child out of their sight, or an easy going, fun, friendly parent? This has been a big debate for years, and nobody knows the actual answer. Some may say the reason children behave badly is because there is no discipline. Some may also say the reason why children behave badly is because they cannot express how they feel at home, so they act out in public when their parents are not…

    The article mentioned that callous-unemotional children, such as Michael, have calculated misbehaviors that use the situation to their advantage. However, his behavior in the article tells a different story. Normal children behave well to avoid aversive social emotions, but Michael should also behave well since then he would be able to gain his parents’ trusts and use that as his advantage. He would realize that lashing out is not the best action since it does not bring him any advantage. Since Michael was still unable to control his behavior, it means that Michael was unable to control his emotion as well, especially towards his siblings.…

    Some people may say the children do not have to follow the violent behaviors they have grown up around. That is true, they do not. However when they grew up around it their whole lives, it is kind of hard to let go of. Plus in the article ‘Armed and Underaged’ it also states, “Most children have never been in a classroom or played in a park” (Gettleman 8). Again these children have never been given an education or a chance.…

    There has been, and always will be, debate about whether nature or nurture matters more in determining a persons' individual characteristics and traits. In other words, do the genetics of our families, or the environment we are subject to and raised in have more of a role in the development of an individual's personality? Aggression is the feeling of anger or antipathy resulting in hostile or violent behaviours; readiness to attack or confront. (Oxford Dictionary, 2018). Aggression is something that affects everyone in different ways.…

    Social Cognitive theory makes assumptions about learning and the performance of behaviors. These assumptions address the reciprocal interactions among persons, behaviors, and environment; enactive and vicarious learning; the distinction between learning and performance; and the role of self-regulation. Martins and Wilson (Martins & Wilson, 2012) foundational application of the social cognitive theory is represented in their application of modeling throughout their research of the relationship of children’s aggression in the classroom. They examined the effects of exposure to nonphysically aggressive portrayals on television. Program samples used for modeling social aggression were American Idol, Survivor, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.…

    This article is about collecting dream data, and proving whether or not their hypothesis was correct or not. Their hypothesis is that aggression levels would vary substantially from the content of the nightmare, reoccurring and nonrecurring, and also with people experiencing unpleasant dreams. In the experiment they clearly defined what a nightmare is, so there was not any confusion. When collecting the data from the participants, the researchers made the answers anonymous, to protect the participants. One of the questions was for the participants to write down their reoccurring nightmare.…

    Aggression simply refers to an act that is carried out or wedged towards another person without his or her permission and it is often intentional. There are various conflicting opinions with regards to the origin of this act as some believe that people are naturally born with this act and others believe that is response from our cultural beliefs and surrounding. Whether this act is as a result of nurture or nature agreement is that there are numerous causes for this act which may be broadly categorized as inner, external, and interpersonal. Inner causes are generally those that come from inside a person affecting their feelings. The inner causes can therefore be divided into five different sub-groups; bad moods, frustration, gender, age, and hostile cognitive biases.…
