Aggression is not a phenomenon that has occurred in our time, but has also been the subject of many surveys in the past. The aim of the paper is to analyze, elucidate and clarify the concept of aggression and in particular what we mean aggression in pre-school age. From infancy, children show aggression towards themselves, other people, and often on various objects. This paper examines the factors and causes associated with aggressive attitudes of children by analyzing the influence of each social environment that the child comes into contact with. In order to investigate the aggression of a pre-school child, we need to look at all the social surroundings close to the child, because different stimuli are accepted by each one. For many reasons, a preschool child will behave aggressively if the stimulus they receive causes negative emotions they can not control, they does not know how to manage them and can not manifest them differently and without consequences to others but also to themselves. All human societies set rules and practices to control and limit aggressive manifestations. Thus, educators in pre-school institutes must also do so. Various forms of control, such as punishment, isolation, various relief conditions, self-control methods, and others, have been applied to all social groups to control the aggressive behavior of their members (Bolstadt and Johnson in Vuidaskis, 1987). In this paper, there are recorded ways of addressing aggressive behavior of children by pedagogues in pre-school institutes, and children's games and techniques of anger management are proposed.
