All you need to know about Behavioural Disorder in kids

Small kids can be naughty, rebellious, and hasty now and again, which is totally ordinary. Nonetheless, a few kids have very troublesome and testing ways of behaving that are outside the standard for their age, it very well may be an indication of a conduct issue or behavioural disorder. These problems can result from temporary stressors in the child’s life, or they might represent more enduring disorders.

The most common behavioural disorders are:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that causes difficulty focusing attention. It can also cause hyperactivity and impulsivity.
  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), for instance, includes angry outbursts, typically directed at people in authority. Children with ODD display angry outbursts toward authority figures, such as parents, caregivers, or teachers.
  • Conduct Disorder (CD) tend to violate basic social rules and the rights of others. This can have a significant impact on someone’s academic, social, and home life. People with CD may also have difficulty feeling empathy or have another condition, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder that affects their thoughts and behaviour.

 

Some of the main symptoms for the above include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder and learning disorders.

Behavioural disorders in children can be improved by providing then with adequate training at a very young age like cognitive therapy which helps them to control their thoughts, anger management techniques which helps them to identify the signs of their growing frustrations, and social training which helps the individual to have a proper conversation with the people around them and some encouragement which will boost their morale and would try to improve on their social skills.

If your child is experiencing any of these behavioural disorders, it is important to get help from a professional as soon as possible, because these conditions can affect the quality of life to such a degree that they may lead to self-harm.

With careful treatment, we can improve your child’s behaviour over time.
