CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES
All young children can be naughty, defiant and impulsive from time to time which is perfectly normal.
However, some children have extremely difficult and challenging behaviours that are outside the norm for their age. These problems can result from temporary stressors in the child’s life, or they might represent more enduring disorders. Early detection is the important path for the early intervention of the problem.
It’s important that parents and other caregivers provide support while your child is developing and learning to manage their own emotions.
Guiding your child and encouraging positive behaviours will help them learn appropriate ways to behave.
Sometimes, severe and persistent challenging behaviour can be a sign of a developmental condition or a more serious mental health concern. If your child’s behaviour is affecting the way they cope with life you can consult with us to discuss your concerns
- Does your child have defiance? (e.g. refusing to follow your requests)
- Fussiness? (e.g. refusal to eat certain foods or wear certain clothes)
- Hurting other people? (e.g. biting, kicking)
- Excessive anger when the child doesn’t get their own way? (tantrums)

Use calm consequences
Give your child a chance to do the right thing by explaining the consequences of their bad behaviour. As an example, if you want your child to stop scribbling on the walls, you can tell them to stop or else you will end their play time and follow through with the consequence calmly and consistently.
