Are you one of the thousands of Canadians who work
or volunteer with children and youth? Do you know:
• how to respond effectively when a young person
behaves aggressively?
• what kinds of aggression are considered normal for
a young person’s age and stage of development?
• what kinds of aggression may suggest that a young
person has a problem that needs specialized
intervention?
Acting Out aims to help you answer “yes” to these
questions. It describes the causes of aggressive
behaviour in young people, and discusses approaches
to handling it.
Acting Out is a valuable tool for anyone who works
with young people, including teachers and school
administrators, day-care and recreation centre
workers, youth shelter workers, social service workers,
sports coaches, youth leaders, camp counsellors
and directors.
