Describe the developmental changes in aggression that occur over childhood.
What will be an ideal response?
From its life peak at around age 2, as children get older, rates of aggression decline and wounds to "the self" become salient provocations for aggressive acts. Also, as children move into elementary school, overt aggression (hitting, yelling, and screaming) is replaced by more indirect modes. In particular, during late elementary school and middle school, relational aggression—such as spreading rumors, teasing, and acting to destroy relationships—becomes especially common.
