BEHAVIORAL GLANCE INTO RED FLAG BEHAVIOR IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

 

BEHAVIORAL GLIMPSE INTO RED FLAG BEHAVIOR IN

   CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

__________________________________


  While infants, children, and teens are aging, and growing,

where each individual child is able to function, that is age

appropriate with one's peers. This is gaged in several different

ways; often operating off expected milestones. Research

suggests that there are very specific behaviors, that can be

identified by observation, that also alert others to potential

behavioral struggles/and in what area, may occur in the future.


 Some of the listed behavior, could be age appropriate, in other

cases, that isn't true. Noting these behaviors is just a way to keep

an eye on what could be potential problem areas in the future.
