Brief-write up

‍Most children tend to be naughty, disobedient, and impulsive, however, at times the challenging behaviours can be quite strange, intense, inappropriate in a social setting, and be harmful to themselves and/or others.

Behavioural Challenges in children can be due to a variety of factors, it could simply be a stress reaction of the child, i.e., the inability of the child to cope with a stressful situation/demands leading to the manifestation of behavioural challenges or it could be caused by an underlying disorder like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Learning Disabilities (LD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), etc. Identifying the signs of challenging behaviours, their underlying factors are crucial for the educators and caregivers to plan and support their child/children with early intervention.
