Mixed

The text claims that 2-year-olds are the most interpersonally violent and aggressive among all childhood ages.

Infact verdict: Mixed (46/100).

The claim that 2-year-olds are the most interpersonally violent and aggressive among all childhood ages is not definitively supported by the evidence. Research indicates that aggressive behaviors such as pushing and hitting increase up to 24 months, but there is no direct comparison across all childhood ages to confirm that 2-year-olds are the most aggressive. The evidence suggests an increase in aggression up to age 2, but does not establish that this age is the peak of aggression compared to older children.
