Aggression begins to develop early in life. In fact, there are two types of aggression easily identified during early childhood, hostile aggression and instrumental aggression (Berkowitz, 2003). Hostile aggression is characterized by the intent to harm or injure the victim, whereas instrumental aggression is directed at achieving a particular goal (e.g., hitting or threatening another child in order to obtain a toy or gain peer approval). Children who have not successfully developed age‐appropriate strategies for regulating aggressive behavior are at high risk for engaging in chronic aggressive and antisocial behavior.
