Child-Aggression Toward Animals
Assessment & Support
This service is designed to support children who exhibit aggressive, harmful, or concerning behaviors toward animals. It combines compassionate assessment, behavioral observation, and therapeutic intervention to understand the root causes of the behavior and guide the child toward empathy, regulation, and safe interactions.
What to Expect from the Process
We understand that noticing your child act aggressively toward animals can be distressing, confusing, and even isolating. This service is here to help you understand why it’s happening and how to support your child in building safer, more compassionate behavior.
An overview of the process:
1. Initial Consultation & Family Interview
2. Child Observation & Assessment
3. Safety & Support Planning
4. Ongoing Support (if needed)
A Compassionate, No-Blame Approach
Children who act out toward animals are often expressing something they don’t yet have the words for—frustration, fear, confusion, or unmet needs. Our approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on understanding the "why" behind the behavior so we can build lasting, positive change.
