Step 1

Children and adolescents who show extreme aggression, frustration, threatening, hostility, and intentional destructive behavior towards others are considered to be displaying abusive behavior. Exposure to violence, being a victim of physical or sexual abuse, herd behavior, etc. are some factors that increase the risk of violent behavior.

When a child realizes that they can meet their needs through abusive behavior, it is extremely difficult to break those dysfunctional behaviors.
