Children who are aggressive in nature usually come from the families with frequent conflicts, warns a leading psychologist, Arantzazu Bellido. She has recently done a research based on this.

There is a direct relationship between a child''s behaviour and their family environment. The researcher took a survey to study this, where the children from 251 families took part. Their family members, friends and school mates also took part in the survey. Among this 15 children were aggressive by the nature. Two children were highly aggressive. There were some interesting data, underlying their family contexts.

The matters adversely affecting the individuality of the children include the absence of the parents, the lack of satisfaction of the child with the family environment etc. The restrictive paternal disciplines including educational discrepancy and restriction-permissiveness can make the children arrogant, warns the psychologist. Another factor was the unbalanced distribution of domestic chores given by a working or a stressed mother.
