Are you one of the thousands of people who work or volunteer with children and youth? Do you know: • how to respond effectively when a young person behaves aggressively? • what kinds of aggression are considered normal for a young person's age and stage of development? • what kinds of aggression may suggest that a young person has a problem that needs specialized intervention? Acting Out aims to help you answer "yes" to these questions. It describes the causes of aggressive behaviour in young people, and discusses approaches to handling it. Aggression among young people is an important social issue. Fortunately, early intervention and treatment can significantly reduce the risk of harmful outcomes.
