There is no parenting manual that we can bring home that will prepare us for our children growing up, especially for their behavior, and what is or isn’t typical for their developmental age. Pediatricians are experts in child behavior and development. We understand that it can be distressing to feel like your child is aggressive, uncontrollable, inattentive, hyperactive or uncooperative in day-to-day environments. Part of the evaluation of behavior concerns will be taking a history of the environments and triggers that seem to bring about issues. Personal and family medical history is considered as well. Looking at all of the available information, our team can then direct you toward the appropriate management steps. These may include behavioral therapy, medication management, referral for neuro/psychologic testing, or referral to a psychologist and/or psychiatrist for further care.
