It is both normal and expected for a child to be frustrated with school from time to time. However, if a child is overly aggressive in class, or continually struggling with homework with no improvement, this could be a sign of an underlying condition. Additionally, if a child is openly defiant, interrupts teachers, and consistently misbehaves, they may have a behavioral problem.
Behavior problems can develop into behavior disorders, making early treatment essential. In addition, if a child’s struggles to understand classwork are persistent, it is crucial to determine if this is the result of a learning disorder. Finding treatment for these behavioral conditions can help ensure a child’s future success in school and life.
