Belligerent behavior is a very common problem in kids these days. Many preschoolers get energetic while playing; they hurt toys or their bodies when they are frustrated, angry or obstreperous. These little angels don’t know the difference between throwing his toys or tossing with a ball. 

It is a process which starts from when your child is of one year and starts playing with others. Try to make your child understand when he starts learning anything. For example playing with friends, throwing toys, biting or whatever he does. Then try telling him that biting, hitting or throwing toys are unacceptable and show him what kind of behavior you want like kissing, hugging or talking. Also tell him that these actions are acceptable.

Children usually observe you to learn anything. If you are angry and you show your anger with throwing things here and there, your child will also learn the same thing. And if such behavior is common with your child, then here are some suggestions to solve such problem:

Start it by playing with his stuffed toys. You yourself play on the behalf of a teddy bear. As if your child throws a car on your teddy, it hits him and teddy gets hurt, same ways you do. You also throw a car on your child and definitely it will hurt your child. Try to make him feel the difference that it hurts when u throw something on others.

Sometimes appreciate your child for his good behavior, for example, when he starts sharing his toys with friends or his favorite food with others. The more you praise your child’s behavior, the more it will be repeated.

Tell your child to avoid playing with others if he is angry. Very soon he will be normal and start playing again.

Sometimes reprimanding is also necessary. It helps him why he is disapproved. Give him timeouts to reinforce your message as lock him in a room for some time or just stop talking to him.

The most important thing, never remind your child of his previous aggressions. Forget every bad incident when it is over. Otherwise he could be aggressive again. Never hit your child if you dislike some of his activities.

As you become logical in their discipline, and as they are praised for getting along their friends , very soon they will learn what to expect from fighting and being friendly.

And that’s the way to solve your problem.
