Behavior Disorders: Causes of Behavior Disorders in Children

In children, many factors can be said to be responsible for behavior disorders observed in children. These factors include family and social factors that play the greatest role in shaping children’s behavioral disorders; biological factors which determine how well or how bad the child will interact with the environment. The third category of the factors influencing children behavior is the school and its environment. Apart from book work, there are foreign people the child has to adjust to and new set of rules and regulations governing the behavior of the child. Since these children come from different family and cultural backgrounds, the child is bound to be impacted differently by these school environmental factors differently and some behavioral adjustment disorders might appear in a child who once had no such behavior disorders. It is therefore the work of the families, teachers and immediate school communities to work in a concerted manner to shape the child’s behavior morally, socially and academically for the future well-being of the child.
