Abstract in brief

  • Most children between 6 and 24 months engage in some form of physical aggression, with certain behaviors like kicking, pushing, and swiping increasing as they get older.
  • Some aggressive actions, such as hair pulling and scratching, tend to decrease with age, while hitting and throwing become more common around 18-20 months before leveling off or declining.
  • These findings help pediatricians advise parents on typical behavioral development during the first two years, emphasizing that physical aggression is common and evolves with age.
