Addressing the issue of a kid or a child being aggressive or harsh requires a comprehensive approach that involves identifying the underlying causes, and factors and implementing them with appropriate interventions.

The problem

There are various factors that might lead to a youngster being violent. There are numerous and complicated situations where a child gets engaged in violent behaviour. It is critical to recognise that each instance is unique and that various factors can combine to impact a child’s behaviour. There are several reasons why a youngster may become violent.

• Trauma: Children who see abuse, neglect, or violence are more prone to become aggressive themselves. This is due to the fact that trauma may harm a child’s emotional and psychological development, making them more inclined to behave aggressively.
• Exposure to violence: Children who are exposed to violence, whether in their homes or in their communities, are more likely to become violent themselves. This is because kids learn that using violence to solve issues and acquire what they want is a viable option. Youngsters may get desensitised to violence and become more likely to act violently if they are exposed to violent media on a regular basis, such as violent television shows, violent movies, violent video games, or internet content.
• Environment: Children who grow up in chaotic, stressful, or difficult circumstances are more likely to become aggressive. This is because kids learn that using violence to cope is a viable option. Growing up in a violent or abusive environment can significantly impact a child’s behaviour. Witnessing violence or experiencing abuse at home or in their community can greatly affect the behaviour and increase the likelihood of the child displaying violent tendencies.
• Peer pressure: Children who are around aggressive peers are more prone to become violent themselves. This is due to their desire to fit in and be accepted by their peers.
• Social learning: It occurs when children learn from adults in their life, such as their parents, teachers, and classmates. They are more prone to use violence if they watch adults using it to solve issues.
• Lack of empathy: Empathetic children are more prone to turn aggressive. The ability to comprehend and share the sentiments of others is referred to as empathy. Children who lack empathy are more prone to cause harm to others without experiencing sorrow.
• Psychological factors: Some children’s violent behaviour may be exacerbated by underlying psychological or emotional disorders. This might involve a history of trauma, neglect, or mental health disorders that have not been properly addressed.

Living in peace is not only possible but also desirable. We might argue that the expectation is another layer of achieving peace. Expectations are useless; they serve merely as diversion or distractions and fail to awaken us to the realities of life. Expectations serve as catalysts to the majority of our problems. Indeed, the notion of expectations can contribute to the achievement of peace. While conflicts and obstacles may happen in our lives and in our surroundings, we have the ability to nurture peace within ourselves, our communities, and beyond. When people, groups, and civilizations share expectations and work together to meet them, it can lead to more harmonious cohabitation.

One should not be prejudiced or biased in what they think and say. Rather they should discuss the best practices that may be used to improve one’s life. Biases and best practices are not the same thing. Every thinking process is a belief system, and the question should be whether that thought process is heading in the correct way, i.e. best practices, or heading in the wrong direction. Every belief is a philosophy, that an individual adheres to, and if that individual chooses to adhere to the negative since acknowledging and living a life of positivity is tough, then no one can change the situation or assist him or her.

Living in peace requires people, communities, and societies to actively promote understanding, respect, and collaboration while respecting and meeting the various expectations and requirements of all stakeholders. While obstacles and disputes endure, it is critical to maintain hope and perseverance in our search for peace. We can build a society where peace flourishes by developing understanding, supporting discussion, peacefully resolving disagreements, and following the ideals of justice and equality. It starts with our mindset and individual activities and progresses to our worldwide efforts as citizens.

Also, there are negative cunning individuals, toxic people, hypocrites, opportunists, crooks, and criminals everywhere and dealing with them may have a direct impact on preserving tranquilly in one’s life. We all have seen and witnessed many people, who are preoccupied with displaying their designation/title, power, authority, and greed for materialistic possessions, and they believe in showoffs. A well-knowledgeable intellectual person would never brag; only an insecure person will do so, and this has a direct impact on peace of mind. One should not respond to those individuals; rather, one should feel sorry for them since they are so much ignorant of life.

They all sound fantastic in books because the bulk of people does not wish to follow best practices while being negative or pessimistic. It’s similar to a user guide for how to utilise a certain product more effectively. One’s perspective will either make or break him or her; it is all up to them. Someone can just advise someone to follow best practices, but if that person does not execute or listen, then nothing beneficial can happen. Also, one should not consider how many people are following best practices. It can begin with a single person. Many people believe that they should do what the majority does, even if the majority is wrong. It should not influence one’s thoughts because he or she is completely aware of the circumstance and surroundings.

It’s okay anyone can have a different opinion but the most important thing is no opinion should be dealt with negativity. The simple purpose is to spread positivity and how to live and lead a life of positivity in any situation. Positivity and a strong mindset are everything that actually matters. One should strongly believe that every problem has a solution and if we have the urge to pursue it with the right mindset then it can work wonders.

One has to believe that if we can detach ourselves from these worldly pleasures, greed for materialistic possessions, and showoffs, then we can be at peace and equally happy. We should also avoid having too many expectations. Weak minds seek excuses, whilst strong minds seek answers. Normal individuals cannot accomplish this; to achieve tranquilly, one must reach a higher level of consciousness and to attain that one must have the patience and courage to pursue it. It is important to recognise these challenges and actively work towards addressing them in order to create a more peaceful, harmonious world and for ourselves. By promoting empathy, understanding, dialogue, and cooperation, we can strive towards resolving conflicts, bridging gaps, and fostering a culture of peace in our communities and beyond.
