Violent behaviors sometimes start from early ages because of not knowing how to stop certain behaviors. Many times the children answer by kicking and throwing an expletive do not get what you want. In these situations many parents prefer to do nothing waiting for this behavior to stop on its own.


The child learns that nothing happens if he behaves in this aggressive way. What is recommended for curbing the aggressive behaviors of adolescents It is always to respond to them by making them see that they have not liked anything this attitude and if he continues there he will not achieve what he wants. This will prevent this behavior from worsening as the children grow.

Always firm in the face of aggressive behavior

Adolescent violent behavior towards parents is often related to frustration because they have been denied something.
