Behavioural Concerns

All children have bad days, but sometimes these days can extend to weeks and months. Has your child been presenting more persistent concerning behaviour? Is this behaviour causing distress for you, your child and/or others around you? Behavioural concerns can present in a variety of ways for each child.

Does your child:

  • Act aggressively toward others

  • Refuse to eat and/or sleep

  • Struggle to communicate verbally

  • Throw tantrums frequently

  • Bully others

  • Steal or destroy property

  • Struggle to socialize and engage with others

  • Get into physical fights

It is not uncommon for children to test limits sometimes, and it is even part of healthy development for children. However, when behavioural concerns begin to significantly impact life, general well being, and day to day activities, it can be helpful to get additional support.
