Parenting: Child Behavior Problems? Roughhousing or Violent Child Behavior?
Ranked #5,144 in Family, #148,172 overall
Today, I want to focus on differentiating violent child behavior from rough play. At times, discerning this when a child seems to go berserk can be quite difficult, all the more so with boys.
Boys do have a tendency to play rough. Boys do tend to roughhouse, they are known to have mock fights, and are more prone to indulging in things that can be seen as violent. So when parenting your kid, how do you know if he might have some child behavior problems?
How can parents tell if their children are merely roughhousing or actually indulging in violence?

Basic Parenting Instincts
Ordinarily, you simply have to follow your basic parenting instincts.
If you see yourself losing grip and see that your kids have starting being rough to the point of crossing the line, it is safe to assume that the line dividing roughhousing and violent child behavior has been crossed.
Amongst the best indicators is when while one child wishes to stop and the other doesn't. This indicates that the situation needs to be broken up through outside intervention.
While simply playing rough is permissible, violent behavior is not. When play time turns violent, children get out of hand. If they persist with their violent ways as they turn older, they can face a fairly problematic future.
Again, in differentiating between the two, simply follow your gut feeling.
You are probably aware of the violence that our children come across through movies, video games, T.V, toys, etc. This has led to an increase in the tolerance levels of violent child behavior. While some parents might regard something as being positively violent, someone else might consider it normal behavior or roughhousing.

Remember, if you can't tell if your kid has a child behavior problem, the main indicators are:
* Your basic parenting instincts
* If the other child wants to stop, and your child still does not. This is where you need to intervene.
