AGGRESSION AT SCHOOL From the survey conducted recently half of the parents and students believe that children who have shown aggression must be helped within the school.

About two-thirds of parents indicated that their child had not been in serious conflict with other children till present.

REASONS FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR Wrong response of parents in certain behavior of their children. Unemployment and stress Disharmony in family relations as a whole: the relationship between the parents, between parents and children, between siblings. Punishment and the degree of control by parents Aggression can be made both to others and to himself - it is expressed in constant anxiety, despair or frustration.

UPBRINGING Researchers of child behavior say that cruel punishments lead to higher levels of aggression in children, and parents’ minimum control leads to high antisocial acts. Often these two types of upbringing can occur in a family where the parents do not stick to one style of behavior (one punished, the other cancels the punishment). The emotional attachment between parents and children is destroyed

LET US TEACH THE CHILD TO SHARE The ability to share his pain is the first step towards overcoming the aggressive behavior. The child exhibits aggression, not because he is bad, but because he needs help. Aggression is a result of resentment, fear, pain, humiliation, and they arise because of the failure of the family to satisfy his needs for love and for being loved.

TIPS FOR PARENTS Teach your children to take responsibility for their actions on themselves, not to dump their guilt on others. To develop in children a sense of empathy to their peers, to adults, to the living world. To help the child properly assess both his own emotional state and the child victim. Teach your child to different feelings, to be able to understand analyze. Aggressive behavior is a kind of cry for help, for attention to his inner world, which has accumulated too many destructive emotions that the child has no powers to deal only.

Conclusion The main reason for violence in schools must be sought in the interpersonal relationships of adolescents and norms of behavior. The destruction of traditional family structures contributes to the occurrence of violence. Violent behavior of teenagers is a continuation of "family tradition“ in some cases. Improved communication between parents and children is the best solution to the problem of aggression in school.
