Disruptive Behavior

Disruptive behavior disorders, such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, put children at risk for long-term problems. Common symptoms occurring in children presenting with these concerns include: defiance of authority figures, angry outbursts, tantrums, pushing boundaries, and other behaviors such as lying and stealing. 

Supporting children early with the right evidence-based treatment is key. Effective therapy for disruptive behavior involves a multi-component intervention and often includes parent consultation, individual therapy, as well as creating a plan for daily habits and activities to help your child thrive.
