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.

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.
