Some children are prone to a particular kind of aggression when they are with their peers. For these children, any harm done to them—even something as inconsequential as a jostle in the lunch line—is perceived as intentional. Their style of social information processing, termed “hostile attributional bias,” increases the likelihood of retaliating with excessive and inappropriate physical aggression. In this valuable book, parents and professionals who work with children will learn what can be done to better understand and control children’s aggression. Beginning with a reader-friendly review of the literature, Cynthia Hudley underscores the substantial risks of long-term problems for elementary-school-age children who demonstrate aggressive behavior. Then, drawing on her work as founder of a successful school intervention program, the BrainPower Program, Hudley describes methods for reducing children’s peer-directed aggression. She concludes with a discussion of the importance of broad social contexts in supporting nonaggressive behavior.

"Aggressive behavior typically peaks in toddlerhood and decreases by school entry. However, an estimated ten percent of children do not show this normative decline. In addition, persistent aggression in toddlerhood, preschool, and early childhood may develop into disruptive, problem behavior in adolescence and adulthood. The current study examined 318 boys and girls from a sample selected in toddlerhood for externalizing behavior problems. At 2, 4, and 5 years of age mother's reported on children's aggressive behavior. In addition, observed and physiological measures of child temperamental reactivity and emotion regulation and maternal behavior were assessed in toddlerhood. A sub model of SEMM (structural equation mixture modeling), latent profile analysis (LPA; Gibson, 1959), was performed, resulting in 4 longitudinal profiles of aggression: a high profile, a sub-threshold profile, a normative profile, and a low profile. Composites of observed emotion regulation, physiological emotion regulation, and maternal controlling behavior significantly predicted the probability of membership in the profiles. Furthermore, physiological emotion regulation moderated the effects of maternal control and observed emotion regulation on the probability of membership in the profiles. The results reinforce theory that suggests emotion regulation and maternal behavior display moderational relations to aggressive behavior problems. In addition, the findings suggest specific mechanisms operating among multiple indices of emotion regulation and between emotion regulation and maternal behavior in relation to aggressive behavior in early childhood that should be examined in the future."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
