How Can Aggressive Behaviour In A Child Be Managed?
doc, my child is 7.5years.... he is little active than other chaps. Very active in regular things of everyday works. But not interested in studies, always anger to his mother for the bad things told not to do and he always hit his younger 3yrs son too. Can you suggest how to handle such a boy in this situation.

Hello,
This kind of behavior could be the result of a multitude of things. Temper tantrums are common in children. It could be just that. In any case, I advise you to go to a psychologist or a psychiatrist to evaluate for conditions like ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactive disorder), and temper tantrums. They could provide therapy to help decrease this kind of behavior.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
