Snowy is beautiful! Bengals are not known for being aggressive, but any cat can be at times. It is difficult to tell you what needs to be done. We don't know your family, the environment of the cat, etc. Hopefully, you have your home catified so Snowy has many places to be. It is true that bengals want to be with their humans. Have you had Snowy's vision checked? Some cats can become aggressive if they aren't able to see that well or are surprised at something. I'm hoping you use the words "NO" and "STOP" so that he understands. The other thing is play time. Some cats can become over stimulated and the aggression starts there. I'm guessing Snowy sees a vet regularly and has no medical issues happening.
The other key is to never display fear. If your kids or your wife are terrified os Snowy, he will know it and use it to his advantage. Sometimes you simply have to leave him alone and ignore him. However, there should be times when he is calm and resting and should be talked to and petted gently. The key is that you control Snowy's life and not the other way around.
Your vet may want to prescribe something to calm him down or you can check out Jackson Galaxy's Spirit Essences and see if there is a remedy that might help you out.
