Keep them under control

{Climbs on soap box}

Recent research (check out this and this) backs up what I have been saying for ages. CONTROL YOUR BLOODY KIDS!!!! It is no longer the 1960's and we are not living on a commune where children should be "allowed to express their natural creativity". It's all bullshit. Toddlers are feral brutes and it is YOUR responsibilty as a parent to tame the little monsters. It is YOUR responsibility as citizen to educate the people you are raising and teach them how to interact with their peers in an acceptable manner. Violent movies and video games DO NOT incite violence in teenagers. They do, perhaps, weaken the tenuous grip they have on a thin veneer of civilty, but it is up to YOU as a parent to ensure that their training holds.
