Preventive measures like engagement of parents which involve oneself in child's behaviour must
be taken (Kinniburgh and et. al., 2017). During intervention, identified information and states
must be informed to parents. At the time when patients react aggressively, service providers need
to use minimum force to get involved in situation. All the principles and codes of conduct of
performing operations should be kept in mind that determines that the priority is welfare of users.
