All children and girls, and boys fight in the childhood. A fight is both a way of self-defense, and self-affirmation, and achievement of the desirable. Not the adult needs to interfere with each fight. But it is necessary to understand what is a fight and as far as it is dangerous to participants of a duel.
If the two-year-old child fights, then most often he asserts the right for possession of a toy. Children up to three years see a toy only in hands of other person, see how he with it acts, and want to receive surely this toy, without paying attention that on the shelf stands just the same nearby. Therefore in this case it is necessary to show to the child existence of the same toy and to show how with it it is necessary to work.
Happens that at the same age the child tries to hit mom or dad, but there is it in case to itself(himself) it already used all other methods of attention. The child has no purpose to hurt parents, he only wants that with it played or talked. It is better for kids to show the correct behavior without use of a fight: to ask a toy, loudly to call mom, to regret, stroke, but not to strike.
As soon as the kid learns to speak, need to use a fight as way of interaction with other people becomes less attractive to it. Children are more senior, years of five-six, already wish to make experiments: whether the shovel beats the head painfully; what will be if to push the peer on a carpet or on a floor. In this case the adult tells about rules of conduct, rules of the game or learns to expect negative results of the made experiments. Younger school students use fights competitions in the practice. They like to try force therefore such fights attract to themselves many viewers. But they do not separate fighters. Such fights have rules: to beat the opponent cold, to fight "to the first blood" or before losing requests mercy. If to stop such fight, children all the same will continue it in other place and in other time. The adult can point to children to the venue of such fights: gym or sports ground. Fights for the sake of justice most often take place among teenagers: children assert the right for leadership, protect honor of the friend or girlfriend. Such fights take place usually in collective and serve the purposes of self-affirmation of the teenager. In this case it is necessary to acquaint the teenager and with other ways of self-affirmation. The teenager can be respected in collective for his devotion in friendship, for ability in time to come to the rescue, for the mental and creative abilities necessary in any collective, for sporting achievements, for public work in a class. Strictly it is necessary to stop and punish fights from hooligan motives by means of which children humiliate and offend other person when a fight brings pleasure and becomes the only way of interaction with other people. It is important that since early childhood the adults taught the child to communicate with peers without use of fights. Adults should not use too physical punishments of the child as the prevalence of force over weakness becomes an attractive example for the child in his interaction with other people.
