Aggression in kids

Aggression in kids refers to frequent or intense angry outbursts, irritability, or destructive behavior that goes beyond normal childhood tantrums. It may be physical (hitting, biting, kicking), verbal (shouting, insulting), or emotional (defiance, mood swings). Occasional frustration is normal, but persistent or severe aggression may indicate underlying emotional distress, behavioral disorder, or neurological imbalance. Causes can include family stress, lack of emotional attention, bullying, trauma, poor sleep, or conditions like ADHD, autism, or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).

Homeopathy addresses aggression in children by understanding the emotional root, personality traits, and triggering situations. Remedies are prescribed based on the child’s temperament, level of sensitivity, fears, and behavioral pattern. Homeopathy helps calm irritability, balance emotions, and promote self-control — leading to improved relationships and emotional maturity. It works gently without causing drowsiness or dependency.
