Dealing with aggresiveness

[JennJubie]

Chances are with a child who is hyperactive and even sometimes aggressive, you will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Positive reinforcement works wonders for kids like this. That being said, it is still absolutely unacceptable for him to hurt other people. Discipline the poor behaviour, but reward, reward, reward the good. It's a long, slow, sometimes painful process, but children with difficulties like this need to learn that good attention is so much better than negative attention.
