This QuickTips brochure addresses violence and how parents can help dispel the perception that violence is OK. It gives parents tips for helping their child handle the anger, conflicts, sadness and stress that can lead to violent behavior.

Parents, better than anyone else, can teach children that violence will not be tolerated. Parents can remind children that the violence they see on television is not real—that real people, including the actors they see on TV—have better ways of handling conflict.
