Children's behavior checklist

The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a widely used assessment tool designed to evaluate children’s emotional and behavioral problems. Parents or caregivers complete a questionnaire that covers various aspects of a child's behavior, including anxiousness, aggression, and social skills. The responses help identify specific issues and track changes over time. The CBCL produces scores that compare a child's behaviors to those of other children, assisting professionals in diagnosing conditions and planning interventions. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding children's mental health in different contexts, ultimately guiding parents and educators in supporting their development.
