there are several behavioral problems in children like toilet difficulties, difficulties in speaking,phobic reactions, timid and unassertive behavior, aggressive behavior, inappropriate crying. shall they have to be treated by a psychiatrist?
Answer:
I think behavioral health is overused, to be honest. Too many parents want to be able to blame society, other people's kids or tv (whatever else) on the poor skills their children exhibit. Truth be told, parenting is THEIR job, not mine except to the extent that it applies to the children I birth or choose raise. While I do believe that in some ways it does take a "village", so to speak. Ultimately the responsibility lies with the PARENTS.
I think the key in all problems you mentioned (and many others) would be consistency and fairness. Too many times I see parents overreact to the most mundane things, yet never follow through on important development moments.
Patience, kindness, fairness and a sense of responsibility in parenting (with support of course) would certainly help curb the rash of behavioral problems we see today.
Well, and then there are genetics. Another time, perhaps!
Its important to get thema ssesed early so they can be treated before adulthood.
well, most of problems can be resolved by parents children always need attention so give them full attention but if there is something which you think that you ain't able to handle then you should contact child psychiatrist.
Talk to your pediatrician. My son has OCD. He is scared of germs. He is only 6. He is on medicine %26 sees a therapist once a week %26 a psychiatrist once a month.
Pathologizing the normal and normalizing the pathological are BOTH risky when it comes to assessing potential psychiatric issues in children.
Some of the 'behavioral problems of children' which you mentioned may merely represent normal, developmental issues which will resolve with time and proper parenting. To determine whether or not psychiatric intervention is in order will hinge largely on the developmental level (e.g., temper tantrums are expected at age 2, but should resolve by early elementary school), severity of the problem (e.g., reluctance to pet a large dog vs refusal to leave bedroom for days due to a paralyzing fear that she may be attacked by a dog), and other mitigating factors (e.g., genetic predisposition to psychiatric illnesses, pyschosocial stressors).
