福克斯新闻 警惕孩子的攻击行为

Fox on Family. Nobody wants their kid throwing a grocery store tantrum. But that's not unusual for a two-year-old: "They don't have sufficient¹ language to say, mommy I need x, y and z. And the other thing they don't have is the ability to wait for whatever it is that they want; those are developmental things."

Psychologist Dr. Kathy Seifert says beyond first grade, throwing a tantrum or hitting may be a red flag to get help, which parents tend to do if a child isn't walking or talking by a certain age: "In order to help move their developmental process along, and so their social abilities are no different. What should they be doing at a particular age and can they do it or do they need help?"

She urges parents to act; help now could prevent more problems later. Another red flag is frequent aggressive behavior, every week not once in a while.

How a child most often behaves around others will show if they're learning² boundaries and maturing properly.

欢迎收听福克斯家庭新闻。没有人希望自己的孩子在超市发脾气。但这种情况在两岁的孩子身上并不少见：“他们还不会说‘妈妈，我想要这个想要那个’。也没有为心仪的物品，且不管想要的是什么，等待的能力；因为这些能力都是需要慢慢培养的。”

心理学家凯西· 塞弗特医生表示，在一年级之后，孩子发脾气甚至打人可能是他们需要帮助的一个危险信号，如果孩子到了某个年龄段还不走路或者说话的话，家长们一般都会采取矫正措施：“为了帮助孩子们调整发育节奏，保证他们的社交能力与同龄人无异。孩子们在某个年龄应该做什么，能不能做什么还是需要家长的帮助。”

针对浙西问题，塞弗特医生敦促家长们行动起来，及时帮助孩子解决问题能够避免长大了引起更多问题。另一个危险信号是孩子不断——比如每周而不是偶尔一次——表现出攻击性。

孩子在他人面前最常见的表现能够显示他们是否掌握了社交的界限，是否正常发育。
