I need answers

Why is abuse all of a sudden okay when it's coming from a child as if children cannot be abusive?

Im an ex foster carer and adopted three of my foster kids. Sadly I know first hand the violence from a traumatised child. They need very specific parenting and a lot of therapy before you move forward. There are books available as a first point of guidance but they really do need therapy where the primary carer is also present.
Have a look at Books by Dan Hughes and Sarah Naish. I especially loved Sarah Naishes book called 'but he looks so normal' it's meant for adoptive parents but you'll be able to appreciate her humour I'm sure.
For teachers there's a fab book called inside I'm hurting by Louise Bomber.
