Violence among children harms them and their surroundings, causing parents to feel anxious, fear of dealing with them, and multiple forms of violence, including what is verbal, physical, or random
Violence can be reduced by maintaining calm. Parents should avoid dealing with aggressive children with violence, shouting, and beatings, as this increases child violence and helps them to invent new ways of aggression.
Even though there is the idea that children are innocent creatures, they often display aggressive and antisocial behaviors. Bullying is a well known phenomenon among children.
Parents and teachers should never appeal to violence to deal with chidren's violent behaviors. First, violence often leads to retaliation on the part of those who are subject to violence.

I wonder whtether you are acquainted with D. Baumrind styles of parenting: Authoritative, authoritarian, and permisse. Authoritative parenting is the case when parents are demanding in intellectual terms, but warm in ther social interactions with their children. Authoritarian parenting is the case when parents are demanding in intellectual terms, but cold in ther social interactions with their children. Permissive parenting is the case when parents are guided by, say, the slogan "laissez faire, laissez passer, laissez aller" (let it go). There is accumulated evidence that shows that, in contrast to authoritarian or permisse parenting, authoritative parenting fosters children's psychological development, be it cognitive, social, moral, prosocial or emotional development. As is natural, the more children are empathically and emotionally developed the less aggressive and violent they tend to be.
Psychologist Martin Hoffman is known, among other things, for conceptualizing three practices or strategies for parents to deal with their children's misdeeds, for example, their antisocial, aggressive or violentent behaviors: Power assertion, withdrawl of love, and explanatory pratices. Power assertion is the case when parents make use of their physical and/or psychological power over resources to socialize their children ("Bob, if you hit your sister, you will not have toys anymore"). Withdrawl of love is the case when parents make use of what migth be called blackmail to socialize and deal with their childrent's misdeeds ("Bob, if you hit your sister, Mom does notlove you anymore"). Explanatory practices are the case when parents explain to their children's that their violent, antisocial, and aggressive behavior has a negative impact on others' well-being ("Bob, if you hit your sister, she will be hurt and will feel bad)". There is mounting evidence that shows that explanatory practices are to an autonomous morality such as power assertion and withdrawl of love are to a heteronomous. It shoulf be mentioned that an autonomous morality is guided by the ideas of cooperation, equality and mutual respect. In contradistinction, a heteronomous morality is based on the ideas of fear, coercion and unilateral respect.
Some modern methods of treatment, which rely on modern methods that have proved very effective, have begun to spread in the treatment of the phenomenon of violence in children, including treatment through (relaxation breathing, meditation and yoga).
Methods of treatment of violence in children, the logical punishment to remove the child from the place where the violence is practiced, and his understanding that he can return to him if he felt that he is ready to join others, but without harm, and should refrain from punishing the child violence in such cases. Keeping calm Parents should avoid dealing with the aggressive child with violence, screaming and beating, because this increases the child's violence, and helps him to invent new ways of his aggression, because he considers the parents his example in everything. Setting clear boundaries Setting clear boundaries By making any reaction, the child feels that he has done something wrong, and does not wait for him to repeat his action, since it is possible to punish him by limiting his movement a little, although these steps often work. Stability on the same position The same position on the same reaction when showing the child of his aggression, until he understands that each time he will return his behavior will face the same punishment, to refrain from his actions, and stop repeating. Finding Alternatives Finding alternatives by waiting until the child calms down, talking to him about the cause of his emotion, and that there are many ways in which he can control himself, express his disapproval or dissatisfaction, and should be more positive than violence and aggression, Their results are both satisfactory for the child and the parents, to encourage the child to exercise whenever he feels angry. Apology The child must be accustom to apologizing every time he discovers an inappropriate behavior or harms him around him by teaching him to utter the words of apology to those who harm them. Reward and enhance the positive side The child must be stimulated and rewarded each time he behaves well, and does not focus on his negative side, neglect this aspect, and do not show any importance towards him, and try to strengthen the positive side. TV monitoring Parents should set limits on the programs the child sees, especially if they encourage violence. The number of hours a child watches television should also be reduced, and the child should be consulted while watching his favorite programs, discussing them, and knowing his point of view about the behaviors he sees. Providing games Parents must allow the child to play games that help him to empty his negative energy, such as playing in the sand, or in public parks rather than sitting at home, wasting time in what does not help. Monitoring the behavior of the child It is preferable for the parents to monitor the situations in which the child is aggressive, to try to find out the reasons for the violence, and to find solutions to them, in order to reduce them and stop them. Consultation with a doctor Sometimes it is necessary for a doctor or psychologist to intervene in order to deal with excessive aggressiveness in some children, since some of them are in need of psychological treatment, because their behavior in this way is often due to a reaction to a position or behavior.
