Introduction. Anger and aggression are an integral part of human evolution. Aggression, as a
survival instinct, has served humans since ancient times to protect themselves from danger or to
defend their territory. It is also observed in children as a natural reflex. For example, the first
emotions that appear in newborn babies in the form of protest (crying) later turn into anger and
aggressive actions. Emotions play an important role in human life, and anger and aggression are
among the most demanding emotions. Especially since children do not yet have enough
experience in expressing and managing their emotions correctly, these situations can lead to
serious problems. Anger and aggression affect not only the child himself, but also his family
members, peers and social environment. Therefore, studying methods of managing anger and
aggression in children and applying effective approaches is a pressing issue today. Managing the
emotional state of children and their behavior is one of the most pressing issues in the family
environment and in pedagogical activities. Although anger and aggression are natural emotions
in human life, improper management of these emotions in children can lead to various problems.
Today, aggressive behavior in children is caused by family conflicts, stress at school, failure in
games, or conflicts with friends. Psychological studies show that children's aggressive reactions
often arise from the inability to express their feelings in words or from the need to get attention.
This not only reduces their self-confidence, but also makes it difficult for them to adapt to the
social environment. Therefore, anger management in children is an important factor not only in
the formation of emotional stability, but also in their development as successful individuals in
society. It occurs as a result of failure in games or conflicts with friends.
Anger and aggression in children are mainly caused by emotional state, low self-control,
family and environment, social influences, genetic and biological factors, insufficient self-
awareness, and these problems are caused by family problems, such as stress, inability to cope
with life's difficulties, and anger and aggression problems. Family problems are caused by
conflict in the family environment, family conflicts, conflicts between parents or divorces, which
cause emotional stress in children. These situations disrupt the child's sense of security and
stability, which can result in aggressive behavior, and also lead to a lack of attention in the child,
in which the parents' busyness or inattention to the child is used by the child to get attention
through aggressive behavior. It is especially important to ensure emotional balance in children,
because in this way, maintaining the child's mental and emotional stability has a positive effect

on personal development, social development and adaptation. What are these methods? It mainly
includes 7 methods, including: Family environment and parental attitude. Creating a peaceful
and supportive environment: The family is the first and most important place of upbringing for
children. A peaceful and healthy family environment ensures the emotional stability of the child.
Parental attention and patience: Parents play a major role in understanding the child's emotions,
paying attention to them, and directing their emotions correctly. It is believed that they should
teach the child not to get angry, but to express their emotions correctly.
In communication and emotions, teaching self-expression. The child should always be
encouraged to speak openly. Allowing children to express their feelings openly and correctly
helps them solve their internal problems. Listening carefully to the child when he is speaking and
validating his feelings helps him to provide inner peace. In the meantime, it is important to
positively reinforce and encourage children, because praising and encouraging a child when he
shows good behavior helps to form emotional balance. Teaching patience and tolerance also
encourages the child to find his place in society in the future and to be tolerant. In order for the
child to learn to control his anger, it is necessary to give him the right explanation and encourage
the importance of being patient. Currently, some studies show that aggressive behavior may be
partly hereditary, and today we are troubled by such questions that these questions torment
parents, namely;
1. "Anger is an integral part of childhood, but whose fault is it: nature or nurture?"
2. "Why do children get angry? Is it because of the genes in their blood or the tablet in their
hands?"
3. "Did you know that what seems like a simple whim at first glance can turn into a big problem
in the future?"
4. "Children are harmless when they are born, but when and how does aggression develop in
them?"
5. "Anger is not a problem, but a signal. The question is, are we reading it correctly?"
Brain and hormones: Neurobiological studies have shown that the amygdala and prefrontal
cortex play important roles in the regulation of anger and aggression. In addition, children with
high testosterone levels may be more aggressive, and temperament also plays a role in this. Some
children are naturally patient, while others are prone to anger.
Aggression should be expressed through words or alternative actions, not through hitting or
yelling. For example, drawing, playing a sport, or playing a musical instrument can reduce stress.
Encouraging good behavior reinforces a child's positive attitude. Saying things like "You didn't
get angry today and spoke patiently - that's great!" encourages a child to make positive changes.
The medical view of aggression
From a medical perspective, aggression can be caused by a variety of factors:
Neurobiological factors: Some children may be aggressive due to differences in brain structure
or imbalances in neurotransmitters (such as serotonin or dopamine). Autism spectrum disorder,
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), or other psychological conditions can increase
aggression.
In medicine, if a child is excessively aggressive and this affects his social life, a psychologist or
pediatric neurologist may advise. In some cases, special therapy or medication is recommended.
In terms of aggression, adolescence is one of the most difficult stages in a person's life, during
which strong changes occur in the div. Aggression can be a normal occurrence during this
period, because adolescents have not yet fully learned to control their emotions. There are many
types of aggression in adulthood, including physical aggression - hitting, pushing, breaking
objects.

Verbal aggression – insults, shouting, humiliation.
Internal aggression – self-harm, depression, self-loathing.
Passive aggression – learning to be indifferent, not talking, and withdrawing.
If aggression is too strong and negatively affects a teenager’s life, professional help should be
sought.
It is necessary to undergo medical examinations. In some cases, hormonal imbalances or mental
illnesses (for example, depression, bipolar disorder) can cause aggression. In these cases, it is
necessary to undergo a medical examination.
In very extreme cases, medication may be recommended on the advice of a doctor, but this is
used as a last resort.
Summary
In conclusion, anger and aggression are an integral part of human nature and emotional life, and
they arise under the influence of various biological, psychological and social factors. If anger is
controlled, it can be a means of motivation and self-defense, but if uncontrolled, it can lead to
aggression, violence and negative consequences. To reduce and properly manage anger and
aggression, people need to learn to cope with stress, find alternative solutions and manage their
emotions. Family environment, education, society and personal discipline play an important role
in this process.
Most importantly, it is important to approach aggression with understanding, managing it not
through punishment, but through patience, proper communication, and psychological support.
Then a person can use their emotions in a constructive way and become a healthy member of
society.
