Disruptive behavior disorders, such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, put children at risk for long-term problems. Supporting children early with the right evidence-based treatment is key.
Common symptoms occurring in children with these difficulties include: defiance of authority figures, angry outbursts, tantrums, pushing boundaries, and other behaviors such as lying and stealing.
Effective therapy for disruptive behavior involves a multicomponent intervention, and often includes: parent consultation, individual therapy, as well as creating a plan for daily habits and activities to help your child thrive.
