Parents know their children best.
Parents who are concerned about a persistent, troubling behavior, should trust their instincts. Seek advice from a pediatrician. Some Web sites may help. If your community is not among those listed, call your community mental health board, listed under the county government section of the phone book, or call your local 4C agency, listed under child care referral services in the yellow pages. Ask who specializes in mental health treatment for very young children.
