OPPOSITIONAL BEHAVIOR

Is your child or adolescent struggling with behavior problems at home or at school?

American children live in a culture where they are increasingly exposed to anger, anxiety, violence and aggression. This exposure comes from many sources, increasing these children’s risk for adopting inappropriate behavioral responses and poor conflict resolution skills.

Children and teens with behavioral problems are at even higher risk for having conflict at home, school and in the community. Many children today are modeling their responses to their peers, parents and teachers after video games, TV, movies and other media sources.

The news reports regularly on children and adolescents who are responding to conflict with violence, bullying and suicide. Don’t be part of the next news report!
