Abstract

In reality, behavioural issues in children are traits that may not fit the criteria for a mental illness, but if left untreated, they may eventually cause a mental illness. Hyperactivity, inattention, temper tantrums, depression, anxiety, aggression, disobedience, peer problems, nail biting, thumb sucking, sleep issues, and other behavioural issues can be both externalizing and internalizing. To avoid more issues, children's behavioural issues should be recognized and treated as soon as feasible. Researchers have conducted this study to evaluate the demographic characteristics of respondents and researcher has also examined the behavior problems among school going children. Researchers used survey method for data collection. Results evaluated that 76 percentage respondents have frequency score below five which implies they are normal; 15 percentages have mild to moderate behavior problems; five percentage shown severe behavior problems and four percent needs clinical help. Results reflected that occasionally violent and destructive behavior was shown by respondents which included pinching others, pushing others , kicking other, pulling hairs or ear or other body parts of others, punching or hitting others, breaking objects or toys, slams doors, attacking or poking other with weapons (blade, sticks or pencils) biting others. Researcher concluded that addressing behavior problems among children is crucial for their overall development and well-being. The implications of unmanaged behavioral issues can be far-reaching, affecting academic performance, social relationships, and emotional health. It is essential to recognize the role of both environmental and psychological factors, such as family dynamics, peer influences, and school environments, in shaping a child's behavior. Early intervention, supportive parenting, and targeted educational strategies are key to helping children overcome behavioral challenges. By fostering a nurturing and structured environment, we can not only reduce behavior problems but also promote positive behavioral patterns that contribute to healthier, well-adjusted children. It is important for caregivers, educators, and policymakers to collaborate in creating holistic approaches that address the root causes and long-term effects of these behavior issues.
