What are childhood behavioral issues?
Childhood behavioral issues are patterns of behavior, such as frequent tantrums, defiance, aggression or trouble following rules, that go beyond what's typical for a child's age and get in the way at home, at school or with friends. Behavior is often how children show stress, big feelings or a need they can't yet put into words, and it responds well to support.

- Defiance, arguing or refusing to follow rules

- Trouble at school, with teachers or with friends
- Difficulty calming down after being upset
