My Personal Research Journey

After thinking about what topics to explore, I finally decided to research aggression among children. Children who experience frequent verbal aggression from parents exhibit higher rates of physical aggression, delinquency, and interpersonal problems than other children. This relationship is applies to preschool, to both boys and girls. The subtopic that I have chosen is, “How to handle aggression among boys in the classroom?" Prior studies of childhood aggression have demonstrated that, as a group, boys are more aggressive than girls.

My colleagues, all comments, suggestions, information and feedback on the topic will be appreciated, so as to help me gain the knowledge that I need and I will provide the same to you all in return as we work collaboratively to achieve our goals. My personal reason for choosing this topic is because aggression is not just about children acting terribly in the classroom but it’s a wide matter that I believe has to do with both internal and external factors. I am pleased and impressed with the level of guidance being provided and hope that the course will be beneficial yet not stressful to all. I hope to conclude with the best practices in school settings for effectively preventing and responding to incidents of overt aggression within the context of social and emotional learning interventions and positive behavioral interventions and supports.
