Psychology behind the child and the toy telephone It is natural for children to copy what they see. Beginning at the time the people come into this world, a kid's mind is programmed with basic behavioural routines,most persuade the youngster to observe, watch, learn, and copy.

Anger can give them the motivation to stand up for themselves or others. This energy can have positive and negative effects, depending how it's used. Teens can show anger in different ways. Some sulk. They won't talk to anyone about what's bothering them. Some pretend nothing is wrong, even though they are extremely angry inside. Others use name-calling, teasing, yelling, or screaming to express anger. They may even get into fights. Some of these expressions can help teens deal with anger temporarily, but often, they won't make anything better. Fifty-two percent of teens have hit someone in anger and 28 percent of teens think it's all right to hit or threaten a person who angers them, according to the Ethics of American Youth Survey, recently released by the Josephson Institute of Ethics, a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles. The survey, taken by 43,321 teens ages 15 to 18, also revealed that 47 percent had been bullied, teased, or taunted at least once in ways that upset them.
