There are many responsibilities that one must consider when it comes to parenting. Every child is unique in their own way, so their needs must be addressed differently. Although parenting can be difficult, frustrating and beyond tiring, the rewards will always be greater. It's safe to say that we've all heard various myths regarding parenting styles. A common myth/ineffective approach among parents/guardians/coaches is to blame a parent for their parents' style when a child is aggressive. This idea usually arises when children are forced to share toys or do a certain task that they don't want to do. A common response to this situation for the parent/guardian is to use power assertion, give the child a time out, or be physically violent. We've all heard the phrase "why is your child so aggressive?" or “sign your child up for more sports teams so he can vent his anger.” In some cases, aggression is a problem and is more difficult to control than in others. Aggression is a common problem among many children and if the problem is not addressed early on, it will persist throughout adolescence and later in life. Teachers and parents need to think clearly and resolve the problem constructively. It is not effective to assert power, give a child a time out, or be physically violent. Furthermore, when such violent measures are involved, children should not be rewarded for their bad behavior, but rather given a lesson so that they learn from their behavior.
