Counseling Intervention Methods for Children’s Aggressive Behavior

Abstract

   Individuals are social by nature and cannot live in isolation from the group to which they belong. This belonging obliges them to follow certain obligations that cannot be crossed, whether they are adults or children. If an individual exceeds those obligations, they may be rejected, and their behavior may be described as maladaptive, deviant, or undesirable. Aggressive behaviour is considered one of those maladaptive behaviors that caught the attention of many studies from different fields and specializations. Many research and studies were conducted and covered various fields, whether familial, academic, professional, or social, starting from childhood to adulthood. There are many factors that intervene in the spread of this phenomenon, whether psychological, familial, academic, or financial. Many instructive, curative, and preventive methods were adopted, especially in the familial or school environment, to reduce it and prevent it from triggering relational, psychological, or physical disorders, specifically in children, while helping them to adopt healthy and socially approved behaviors.
