Do we have to defend the children of other children?

This topic about defending or not defending the children of other children is not without controversy, but from my point of view it is very easy to understand and with this article I intend that you also understand it. Children when they are small and since the world is world have stuck with each other or have had aggression either by playing with the same toy or because they have simply considered it a form of communication, wrong and poorly learned.

This behavior can be seen regularly in schools and nurseries, and unfortunately also in institutes. Unfortunately when the negative behavior goes so far it is because something bad has been done in the environment of the boy or girl.

Always correct and intervene in a child fight

If this aggressive behavior is not corrected early, children will think it is a correct form of communication and will continue to act in this wrong way. It is the duty of the parents to correct the negative behaviors as soon as they occur, as well as the adults surrounding the child at the time of the aggression.

If an adult (whoever it is) looks the other way when a child assaults another, the child will be receiving a muy very wrong message: 'it does not matter if you hit another equal, it is allowed'. This message is a catastrophe both for the social development of the child aggressor and the feeling of helplessness and abandonment felt by the victim when attacked knowing that an adult, model of example and protection has witnessed everything and has not defended him.If an adult witnesses that a child is assaulting another child, they will always have to intervene in the dispute to achieve two essential objectives: that the aggressor feels that this behavior is not appropriate and that it is neither allowed nor approved by anyone, and so that the minor who is being attacked feels protection and also learns that it should not be done and avoid so that he reproduces that same mistake in the future with other children.

Can you imagine that you are walking down the street with another adult and that when you least expect it, someone starts to hit you and the others laugh at him? How would you react? Would you allow it? I am sure not and for that reason, neither should a child be allowed to be attacked by another.

The adults are us, and we have to be his example to follow, his guidance in these circumstances and those who make them see the importance of good attitudes, respect and tolerance with each other ... For this reason we will always have to intervene, never allow this type of behavior, you should look for the solution with empathy, respect for both sides and knowing how to resolve the conflict in the best possible way, because when one child hits another,

it is never a child's thing.María José Roldán
