Abstract

Most early years practitioners, child carers and parents report have some behaviour related problems with children at some time or another. However, the "behaviour disorder" label may only be warranted if those behaviours are persistent and impinge on the basic rights of others, if major age-appropriate societal norms are violated, or if there is significant impairment in everyday functioning at home or school. The aim of this essay is to examine in detail the types and criteria of behaviour disorder, the course and causes of the disorder and considers some appropriate management approaches.
