Is it normal for a 2 and a half year old to be physically aggressive in kindergarten? How can I address this behavior?

Question

Is it normal for a 2 and a half year old to exhibit physical aggression towards other children in kindergarten? Will this behavior pass on its own or is there something I can do to stop it? I'm concerned about my child's behavior and want to address it appropriately.

Answer 1

The thing is that, a child at this age copies and imitates the behavior of his parents. Don't show any aggressive behavior in front of your child. You can't make him stop by beating him or screaming at him. You can try telling your child, that beating a girl will make him a girl. Try it, it works.
