Behavioural and Developmental Disorders in Children
It’s important to understand and support each child’s individuality, especially as they face their own challenges. We all have heard many stories about well-known individuals who continue to be successful despite facing similar difficulties. They didn’t let those challenges hold them back from achieving great things. In the same way, we encourage you not to limit your child’s potential due to their behavioural and developmental challenges.
The Importance of Early Recognition and Intervention for Your Child’s Behavioural Signs
Children’s behaviour serves as a communication tool just as much as spoken language does. It is common for children to throw tantrums or exhibit aggressive behaviour from time to time. However, if these behaviours become frequent and intense, disturb their daily life or affect relationships with peers, it’s important to take a closer look.
Here are the signs to observe in your child:
- Lacks focus
- Avoids eye contact
- Cries excessively
- Throws temper tantrums
- Is always using a phone or tab
- Has difficulty making friends
Recognising and addressing the signs during the onset can minimise distress to the child and family, and prevent problems associated with the condition.
