How do we prevent child violent?

I were told by my child form teacher that my 7 year old boy has been quite violent to his classmates. The teacher have received feedback from 2 of his classmates that my son kicked them in the legs and stomach respectively. Also used a ruler to scratch another classmate. My son got angry when he was scolded for not being pleasant to his classmate and ran out of the classroom. How do we reinforce good behaviour/manners/habits for his own good. So that he could understand the importance of these good values in forging good friendship with his classmates. Its easy said then done. Do you think there's a need to bring him for a counciling session? If it were your child what will you do?

You've listened to the teacher's side of the story. What about your child's? Has your child always been this violent or it's the first time something like this happen? Have a heart-to-heart talk with him first. Is there any teacher he's especially close with during his kindergarten? If yes, maybe you can ask the teacher to help and talk to your boy. Because 10 words from a teacher he's close with is going to be more effective than 1000 words from us. (*Based on personal experience though.) If no, then the counsellor will be the last resort.
