If your child or teenager is physically violent, you can try stepping away until they have calmed down. But this depends on your child. You may need to stay with them for their safety or the safety of others. Try to avoid physical contact with your child while they are being violent, unless you have no other option.
When you are both calm and relaxed, it helps to: Set 'house rules'. Be clear about what things they can decide for themselves, what things you will decide, and what things are household decisions. Talk about what behaviours are OK. Let them know what you will do if they become violent or dangerous.
