If your child has a violent outburst, give them a brief time out, rather than reacting harshly and punishing them physically. This could be sending them to the ‘time out’ chair, or simply sending them to their room. Separating them from the situation may help to calm them down, as well as give you time to calm yourself down.  To determine how long you should put your child in time out for, consider how old your child is. Use one minute per year of age to figure out how long your child should be in time out. Make sure that the area you put your child in down not reward your child. For instance, your child may simply play with their toys if they are sent to their room, so instead you may send them to a couch in the corner where there are no toys. Explain to your child that their violent behaviors are ‘bad ways to behave’. Help your child to understand what ‘good ways to behave’ are. To do this:  Roleplay to teach your child how you would like them to react when they feel upset or are faced with a conflict. Teach them ways to solve their problems. For example, pretend you are another child who decides to play with your child’s favorite toy. Teach your child that instead of reacting aggressively, they should calmly ask the child for the toy back. If the child does not get it back, they can then inform an adult about the situation. Teach your child that getting mad is a normal feeling, but that they should express themselves with calm words rather than violent behaviors. Teach them to say “That makes me mad”. Talk to your child about the things that make them frustrated, so that they can be avoided in the future. Tell your child how you would like them to behave. Give them examples of things that they are allowed to do, and things that you would rather they avoided. Explain that you do not want them to hit people or grab toys from other children, and that you expect them to avoid these behaviors. You should also give your child alternative behaviors that you approve of, such as asking politely for a toy. Create a chart to monitor your child’s daily behavior. Tell them that they will get a sticker put on their chart for days when they behave well, and that they will have a sticker taken away if they display bad behaviors. Consider setting a goal with your child. For example, if your child goes a whole week without having a sticker taken away, they get a special treat on the weekend. Let your child know that you are there to listen to their thoughts and that they can express their feelings to you. Helping your child to express what they are feeling will help to keep them from bottling their emotions up. When your child does not express what they are feeling, they may be more likely to have a violent outburst. If your child has a hard time expressing themselves with words, consider getting flashcards that have different emotions on them, or an emotion chart. Each day, or even several times throughout the day, ask your child to select the emotion that they are feeling, and try to have them explain why they are feeling that way. Once you have set expectations about your child’s behavior, reward their good behaviors. Let your child know that you are proud of them when they share their toy, or asks politely for something, rather than throwing a temper tantrum. When you notice your child behaving appropriately, notice and commend their behavior. Tell them how proud you are and that they should be proud of themselves. This can help your child develop an internal sense of pride that will hopefully keep violent outbursts at bay. Children tend to mimic their parents or caregivers. Because of this, it is important that you model the behavior that you want your child to display. Do not ever react violently towards your child. If something frustrating or angering happens, keep your emotions in check if you are around your child, and express how the situation made you feel in a calm manner. Consider coming up with an activity that both you and your child can do when you are stressed or angry. For example, you could put on a certain song and dance to it when you feel negative emotions. Try to create a fair discipline system. Stick to reasonable restrictions. If your child acts inappropriately, send them to the time out chair, rather than spanking them or yelling at them. These latter behaviors may cause your child to act violently, as they may mimic your own actions.  Make time to spend some quality time with your child each day. A child who feels loved is often less likely to act out aggressively to get attention. Consider trying to redirect your child’s aggression. If you see your child hitting another child, explain to them why that is bad to do. Teach them that the only thing they can hit is their ‘punching pillow’. They are not allowed to hit anything but that pillow. Ask others for help if you are having a hard time managing your child’s aggressive behaviors. Seek the advice of others; chances are other parents are also dealing with the same behaviors.  You can also read books dedicated to the topic of stopping aggressive behaviors in children. Seek professional help by going to a doctor or child psychologist. A professional may recommend that you enroll your child in a course or therapy session that will teach them how to react to things that make them mad. If you’ve noticed that the child has violent tendencies, act on it right away. Correct it with proper parenting or consult a psychologist on how to handle the child, especially if your child has a mental disorder.

Q: If you'll only occasionally be terminating wires, you can find a simple punch down tool that relies on pressure to trigger a cutting mechanism. These are usually the least expensive and you can purchase replacement blades if they become dull. If you'll be terminating lots of wires or need to do it quickly, you may want to use a battery-powered punch down tool. These usually come with lithium batteries that don't require much charging. You can choose the voltage for your punch down tool as well as whether or not you'd like to buy replacement blades. You may want to buy the extra blades if you'll be terminating a lot of wires. You might find that you're still terminating so many wires that a standard punch down tool can't keep up with the work.
