[QUOTE="SRL, post: 56078, member: 701"] I should clarify that I'm not extreme into severe consequences just because the issue is aggression but most of the time I think like Kris a balanced approach is needed. Preventative steps such as supervision or limits for kids who aren't where they need to be yet, modeling of good anger control methods by adults and peers in their life, training, appropriate consequences in doses they can handle, and looking for alternatives (such as other methods or involving other people) when the above isn't working. This would be a good time to mention a great program that the school social worker suggested we write into difficult child's IEP. It's a violence prevention program called Second Step, which has turned out to be very effective in teaching problem solving and social skills that the schools are using it for wider applications. Once a week during 1st and 2nd grade the social worker came into the classroom and taught a short lesson including role playing to the entire class. The teachers like this arrangement because the whole class benefits even though it was written in for one student.
