The fact is that the pandemic ended up bringing many changes. In this case, not only for the personality but also for the lives of many children. What happened was extremely new for all of us, especially for them, so their routines completely changed. The young people stayed in class, without seeing their classmates and spending very little time with other people for a period of time. It's normal for your social skills to take a hit.
This made it more difficult for the children to relate to strangers and make new friends. They, in fact, became more aggressive, so notifications of pushing, kicking and slapping between classmates became recurrent among guardians.
In these moments of aggression, it is essential that teachers, parents and other caregivers or guardians try to calm down children and guide them that this is not how things are resolved, which makes them understand where they are making mistakes. Faced with a case like this, the first thing to do is complain. It is necessary to show that the attitude is unacceptable. You will also need to get her to apologize to her colleague.
Another attitude that parents should always take is to teach their children to deal with and control their feelings, be it fear, frustration or anger. This is to prevent them from repeating these attitudes. Parents can calm them down and get them to take a deep breath, so children should be guided to express what they are feeling. In this way, they get used – little by little – to making more use of dialogue.
If even then they continue with aggressive attitudes, it is recommended to take them to a therapist.
