AGGRESSION AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: Aggressiveness is most pronounced in preschool age, and the reason for this is the usual behavior for that age, such as outbursts of anger and irritable behaviors that disappear in early school age. We speak of violence between children when one or more children repeatedly and intentionally disturb, attack or injure another child who cannot defend himself. In the last 20 years, research in this area has focused on numerous risk and protective factors for the development of violence among children. When the family, which is the primary socialization agent, represents a model of violent behavior, children learn such violent behavior and transfer it to other life situations and the environment in which they grow up. Knowing the aforementioned risk factors and their effects, the task of society, educators and parents is to focus on creating intervention programs that would be targeted at changing parental behavior and developing positive parenting, thus preventing the development of violence among children. The paper analyzes risk factors as well as protective factors and questions the methods and models of preventive programs in order to prevent or reduce the occurrence of aggression and violent behavior among children.
