Homicidal thoughts6/14/2023 Children raised in homes where adult behavior is confusing and emotionally unstable and where communication is poor will develop problems relating to other people. The behavior of parents toward children, and the examples parents set, are the lessons they teach. What children learn about the world is based on how parents raise, encourage and educate them. ![]() A child learns about society and relationships from parents and under parents’ guidance. Except in the most severe cases, temperament alone cannot indicate that a child may become dangerous or violent. A temperamentally difficult child may behave in ways that are impulsive, insensitive to others, easily threatened, aggressive or withdrawn. Temperament is the ‘emotional style’ of a child. Prior to adolescence, the major violence factors are: that the child is temperamentally difficult, has problems in socialization, and has experienced severe or repeated emotional trauma.ĭevelopmental Challenges - Children at Risk The risk for violent and homicidal behavior can be difficult to recognize in very young children. There are steps we can take to recognize and reduce the risk of children’s destructive and violent behaviors. While we don’t understand all the causes, we know a lot. Emotional problems, social conflict, the availability of weapons and the effects of alcohol and drugs contribute to violent and homicidal behavior by children. Research scientists attempt to understand the situations and influences that lead to children’s violent behavior. Research on child violence has focused on the influences of biology, on social and economic factors, on trauma, on personality, and on temperament. What is the cause of violent behavior? As you might expect, there is no simple, definite answer. And, as we are painfully aware, children sometimes kill. We hope and expect that children will be gentle, loving, happy little beings, greeting the world with open hearts. These two words don’t seem to belong together.
