For Evaluation Only

 Review the slide for ways to help kids who are aggressive change their
behavior.

 The right side of the slide gives suggestions for helping kids deal with or
avoid bullying situations.

There are two types of aggressive kids - proactive and reactive.

Proactive – child starts something in order to obtain a specific outcome
 Planned, unemotional, focused on a goal (such as peer approval, the
victim submitting, status in a gang, some type of control)

Reactive – child responds with aggression to perceived threats
 Emotional, often based on perceived threats (a bump, a look from another
student, taunts) – often from kids who are struggling emotionally or
mentally
