Choosing to homeschool your children is a choice that comes with a lot of weighing of pros and cons. It’s also fueled with very strong opinions for and against it. Even if you feel strong in your choice, there is always that thought in the back of your mind “are my kids missing out on certain experiences they can only get in school?”
“Your son’s friend doesn’t want to share a toy. Your son fights him and grabs the toy”
“Your daughter bites and pulls other children’s hair in day-care”
“Your child throws a tantrum every time he doesn’t get what he wants”
Familiar scenarios?
Dealing with an aggressive child is never easy because aggressive behaviour is often accompanied by negative and destructive actions and frequently appears as a voluntary intent to hurt or frighten.

Are children really less safe today than they were before?
Normally, these two phrases do not go together. But according to one study, over 200,000 children a year are rushed to hospital emergency rooms after serious playground injuries. Monkey bars and other climbing equipment are responsible for the most playground equipment fall incidents, which altogether account for over 90 percent of such injuries. Strangulation is the second leading cause of playground injury.
