Natural Causes Of Behaviors In Children

Adolescent behavior disorders can be learned, developed from natural causes, or developed as a result of unnatural stress within a child's environment caused from the parents. To many, a behavioral disorder is not noticed by looking at a child. It is noticed by their actions or speech, by observations and by how children react in certain situations. Learned behaviors can be from children observing different behaviors within their everyday environments. Naturally developed behaviors can be something a child is born with. Situational or environmental behavior can range from transitioning from place to place or into different routines. The problem with adolescent behaviors is for many, it is often a first inclination of placing fault in the parents
for the misbehaviors of children.
However, there are many different causes of misbehaviors in children other than the action of a parent.
Why are children being found less controllable? Depending on who gets asked, the likely answer is almost always, "the parents". Each child has different causes of misbehaviors, it is first necessary to look at the child's environment. To determine the child's cause of behavior disorders within the environment they live in, observers must first look at the stress level within a home. If stress is not the case, they then move on to whether the child is depressed and what may be causing the depression. Depression in adolescents can be caused by numerous environmental factors such as extreme emotional and physical neglect, or bullying by the parents. Some common signs of depression include loss of interest or becoming easily aggravated, appetite loss and most often, fatigue. If none of the listed symptoms are associated with the child's behavior, observers move
on to how the child is treated daily, and how parents react to the child. The parents might be too hard on the child with discipline or in some cases, may even severely mentally or physically abuse the child. Mental and physical abuse can attribute to misbehavior, especially in public places. This makes the child feel insecure and have lack of trust in those meant to be present for comfort and teaching. This causes easy agitation or bullying. Approaching children in negative terms, such as rough discipline, can make a child feel unsafe and cause a significant decline in self-confidence. A child is not meant to feel intimidated with discipline, but should be made to understand their mistakes to learn from them. If there is nothing abnormal within the environment or with how the child is being parented, then further research for the child will take place if behaviors become more inflated.
While further research may take place, observers often include psychological therapists to help determine the cause of aggrandized behavior within the child. The child in question, may have parents that discipline well and give attention when needed, but why does the child continue to make the same mistakes instead of correcting them? Children are tested for more common behavior disorders such as forms of autism, conduct disorder, or oppositional defiance disorder due to the child's behavior and defiance escalating. With these particular diagnoses, it is not likely that the child developed this out of habit or observation. It is something the child is either born with or has developed naturally within the sensory parts of the brain. Some cases may appear more severe than others, but all children with these diagnoses should be treated with more understanding and compassion. Often, the child would need to see specialists to help overcome the difficulties of the diagnoses given. Behaviors will start to improve once the child is understood. The child needs to understand their behavior in order to make improvements, but the child must first have the help he or she needs to overcome obstacles.
Both environmental and psychological differences within a child, bear burden to them every day.
They know that something is different and they act out how they feel. If a child is unhappy, they behave irrationally and become agitated more frequently. They find it hard to trust anyone that comes into their life and find it difficult to adjust to new situations or routines. Whether it be a social misbehavior that is more frequently learned through observation or a genetic or naturally developing diagnoses, such as autism, each child deserves the chance to be understood. But, who is to say that the parent(s) are not the ones triggering these behaviors? Could a parent have been diagnosed with a disorder as a child and show symptoms as an adult? Many doctors have researched adolescent behaviors that are not limited to autism or oppositional defiance. In fact, anxiety and panic attacks may cause a child to react frantically in new environments, causing defiance out of fear. Meaning, anxiety can either happen from trauma or when feeling threatened. An adolescent deals with anxiety the only way they know how and that is by defying orders in a means to protect themselves or to secure themselves to what seems familiar. Along with anxiety, comes lack of focus, often defined as attention deficit disorder or attention deficit/hyperactive
disorder.
While children everywhere, suffer from being misunderstood because of their behaviors and acting out their emotions, it is important to first understand why they are acting out. Analyzing each child's situation through the child's point of view is the most important step to improving the behaviors. It is important to do so in this method because adults see things in a more rational view than children. Children are full of imagination and often imagine the worst when drastic changes are made or when they develop feelings of self-doubt. As parents, it is important to thrive in children. As educators, it is important to analyze from the side lines, intervening when necessary. Psychologist and special therapists have been well trained and educated to help children, who may possess such issues, overcome obstacles whether they be environmentally caused or genetically or naturally developed. Although therapy is recommended, most physician highly recommend medications and stimulants for decreasing misbehaviors and outbursts of aggravation.
