Today, I discuss the complex world of childhood aggression as we explore this topic with Samantha and Phil, parents who are grappling with their six-year-old son’s aggressive tendencies.Together, we unpack how aggression in children is often a manifestation of unmet needs and fear, rather than a disposition towards being 'bad.'
