Aggressive behavior of preschool children

Agresivno ponašanje sastavni je dio rasta i razvoja svakog djeteta. To je kompleksan pojam i teško ga je odrediti. U znanstvenoj literaturi često se opisuje kao društveno neprihvatljivo ponašanje koje nekoga povređuje ili mu nanosi materijalnu štetu. Različite su podjele agresivnog ponašanja, no najčešće se dijeli na fizičku, verbalnu i socijalnu agresivnost. Uzrok agresivnog ponašanja može biti temperament, visok stupanj impulzivnosti, kruti roditeljski odgojni stil te utjecaj vršnjaka ili medija. Kod djece predškolske dobi agresivno ponašanje često je motivirano osjećajem ljutnje i bijesa. Također, djeca znaju promatrati agresivno ponašanje odraslih te ih oponašati. Ako dijete zapazi da se agresivno ponašanje isplati i da rezultira ostvarenjem nekog cilja, dijete ga može učestalo manifestirati. Na agresivno ponašanje odrasli trebaju reagirati kako bi djeca znala da je to neprihvatljivo ponašanje. Isto tako, na agresivno ponašanje važno je i preventivno djelovati.Aggressive behavior is an integral part of the growth and development of every child. It is a complex concept and difficult to define. In the scientific literature, it is often described as socially unacceptable behavior that injures someone or causes them material damage. There are different divisions of aggressive behavior, but it is most often divided into physical, verbal and social aggressiveness. The cause of aggressive behavior can be temperament, a high degree of impulsivity, a rigid parenting style, and the influence of peers or the media. In preschool children, aggressive behavior is often motivated by feelings of anger and rage. Also, children know how to observe the aggressive behavior of adults and imitate them. If the child notices that aggressive behavior pays off and results in the achievement of a goal, the child can often manifest it. Adults should react to aggressive behavior so that children know that it is unacceptable behavior. Likewise, it is important to act preventively on aggressive behavior
