Behavioral Disorders in Children

Behavioral disorders in children are conditions that affect how a child thinks, acts, and interacts with others. Common examples include Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Conduct Disorder. Children with these disorders may struggle with impulse control, following rules, or managing emotions, leading to difficulties at home, school, and in social settings. Early identification and intervention are crucial, as they can help children develop coping strategies and improve their behavior. Treatment may include therapy, counseling, and sometimes medication, tailored to the child's specific needs.
