What are the primary skills of early violence prevention?
The ACT Project focuses on four primary areas: Managing Anger, Resolving Conflicts, Discipline, and Media Violence. The first three areas focus on how parents and other adults can teach very young children by modeling positive behaviors themselves e.g., by managing their own anger when resolving conflicts or exerting discipline, they show their children how to do it. Media violence actually involves parents stepping in and controlling their children’s access to violent media.
