Rocío Gives Advice to Mariana and Estefany on Mariana’s Son’s Violent Behavior: Effective Approaches and Optimal Solutions.

In daily life, raising children always comes with significant challenges, especially when they start to exhibit violent behaviors. This is a situation that many parents face and need to handle skillfully to avoid negatively impacting the psychological development of their children. Rocío, a close friend with extensive experience in parenting, shared valuable advice with Mariana and Estefany when Mariana’s son began exhibiting violent behavior.

Understanding Children’s Violent Behavior
Children can exhibit violent behavior for various reasons, ranging from anger and stress to mimicking behaviors they have observed in their surroundings. The first important point that Rocío emphasizes is the need to clearly understand the root causes of this behavior in order to propose appropriate solutions.

When Mariana realized that her son was starting to show signs of violence, she felt anxious and unsettled. She wonders if she has done something wrong in the process of raising her child. Rocío advised that instead of blaming herself, Mariana should focus on understanding the root cause of the problem. “It is important to clearly understand the origins of this behavior.” “Children do not become violent on their own; often, it is the result of feeling unheard, being hurt, or witnessing violence in their surrounding environment,” Rocío explained.

Avoiding Violent Reactions: Staying Calm is the Key
One of the major mistakes that many adults make when faced with children’s violent behavior is responding with violence. Rocío warns that using violence to deal with violence not only fails to solve the problem but can also exacerbate the situation. “If your reaction to a child’s violent behavior is violence, it only shows that you are also struggling with controlling your emotions,” she said.

Rocío emphasizes the importance of staying calm in stressful situations. “When you stay calm, you can think clearly and find effective solutions,” she advised. “If you react too strongly, the child will feel threatened and may become more violent.””

Assessment of Living Environment: Does Violence Exist Within the Family?
Rocío also advised Mariana and Estefany to reconsider their living environment to determine whether there is domestic violence present. “Children learn from what they see around them.” “If there is the presence of violence in your family, even if it’s just small words or actions, this can also affect the behavior of children,” Rocío explained.

She advises mothers to carefully monitor how they treat others, especially in stressful situations. “If you want your child to be gentle and self-controlled, you must also set an example by avoiding violence in all circumstances,” Rocío emphasized.

Seek Solutions Instead of Criticizing
Rocío continues to advise Mariana and Estefany that instead of criticizing or judging the children’s behavior, they should focus on finding solutions. “You need to help children understand that violence is not a way to solve problems.” “Please sit down and talk to your child, explain the consequences of these behaviors to them, and guide them on how to manage their emotions,” she said.

Rocío suggested that parents could try applying methods such as positive discipline, which focuses on encouraging good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. “Let children know that they can express their emotions without resorting to violence.” “Encourage your child to express their feelings verbally and resolve conflicts peacefully,” Rocío advised.

Seek Help from Experts When Necessary
Finally, Rocío advised Mariana and Estefany not to hesitate to seek help from professionals if they feel they cannot solve the problem on their own. “Sometimes, a child’s violent behavior can be a sign of deeper psychological issues that you cannot resolve on your own.” “In this case, seeking help from child psychologists or behavioral specialists is essential,” she advised.

Rocío emphasizes that there is nothing wrong with seeking help. “We can’t do everything on our own.” “Seeking professional help not only helps you address the current issue but also ensures that your child receives the best support for healthy development,” she said.
