Attended a good inset on Monday about social and emotional aspects of learning.

Reference was made to the Wave Trust, website below:

Key findings include:
Many causes of violence but the deepest roots lie in the family
Pathways to crime often laid down by 2 or 3
Creates aggressive personalities for life
No other childhood factor predicts more of the variation in adult antisocial behaviour than early aggression
The earlier aggression is established, the worse the long-term outcome tends to be
The prime time when humans develop propensity to violence is aged 0-3 years
After age 3, the habit of being violent becomes increasingly difficult to shift. Three quarters of aggressive 2 year-olds are still aggressive at age 5, and thereafter it becomes an even more stable character trait. Serious anti-social behaviour is highly resistant to change in school age children


I could write lots more, but take a look at the report. Possibly nothing you don't already know but I though it was interseting, though shocking. In particular, look at WAVE Reports and then Nursery Crimes and Ending Violence begins with Babies.

We were talking at school about this the other day, violence starting before 3. Honestly can't remember what was said though!!! Just read the report on 10 children... is there any wonder children who are abused are likely to be abusers when they are older? It's horrific. What else is horrific are the sentences passed on their abusers (mostly parents) from 2 year probation for killing a 3 year old by beating with a stick!
