Child Behavior Problems
Childhood behavioral problems may not be easy to diagnose, nor to separate from other problems that may be present in the child. For example - some medical disorders can be misinterpreted as behavioral problems such as ADHD, Defiance Disorders or even Autism and hearing problems. Once all medical causes are ruled out by your trusty pediatrician, then I recommend turning to the following resources…
One of my favorite resources for correction advice on childhood behavioral problems is the William Gladden Foundation. This site is a virtual (free) library for all kids of behavioral issues in children, and how parents can intervene to stop them, correct them and erase them from their child's repertoire of behaviors.
The William Gladden Foundation is a non-profit organization, with topics covering divorce, step parenting, single parenting, blended families, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, family communication, role modeling, behavioral and emotional disorders, stress, depression, suicide, potty training, bedwetting, ADD, ADHD, OCD, sleep disorders, dyslexia, eating disorders, self-esteem, discipline, racism and prejudice, education, truancy, school violence, gifted children, study habits, learning disabilities, reading and listening skills, substance abuse, child development, child psychology, infant care, babies, infants and toddlers, day care, developmental delays, adolescents, teen sexuality and pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, missing and runaway children, adoption, juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice, foster care and biographies of famous adults who overcame difficult childhood problems.
Another great resource I recommend is good ol' Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil McGraw has some very solid and practical, no-nonsense advice, both in his books and on his show and website. Dr. Phil posts his awesome 5 Factors for a Phenomenal Family, discipline questionnaires, parenting tools and strategies and more.
