  7. David Hall, Health for All Children, 4 th edition Disability Survey by the UK Office of Populations, Censuses and Surveys 1985-1988/ Bone M and Meltzer H Point prevalence among 3 yr olds for polymorphous behavioural problems(combination of tntrums,overactivity,aggression, clinging etc) is about 10% 7% have moderate or severe behaviour problems, as defined by their parents (Polnay L, Community Paediatrics, Churchill Livingston) Polymorphous: Over activity, disobedience, temper tantrums, aggressive out bursts under 3yrs
  8. Causing distress to child, parents or neighbours Tantrums, agression, overactivity, eating/ sleeping/ continence problems, unusual habits
  9. Children who fail to gain reasonable control of their anger and tempers by 5 years are likely to continue to have problems with aggression (Polnay)
  10. Although most behaviours are non-specific and may or may not indicate an underlying disorder, a few almost invaraibly indicate significant abnormality It signifies at least poor supervision Polnay L, Community Paediatrics
  11. Exposed to unknown environment Ie when a child cries in the middle of the night and receives a cuddle, he engages the mother to a false cycle to get more comfort Erkison psychosocial theory

  13. First, poor children are more likely to be exposed to risk factors which are postitively related to adverse outcome (ie maternal depression). Second, the effects of these risk factors tend to be greater than they are for non-poor children The families who might benefit the most from help with behavioural problems are less likely and often unable to make use of the strategies suggested
  14. SOFT: touch, smile, praise, attention HARD: sticker, sweets etc
  15. Ignoring the inappropriate ( after stating it is) Not delayed
  16. Polnay Divert the child’s attention Say to the child that the response is unacceptable Time out: a safety valve to avoid escalation: separate in another room/ Don’t lock the door Selective deafness and blindness

Constant bedtime, avoid overstimulation before, calm them down-story, bath, cuddle-, minimal light, close the door decisively aftersaying goodnight Let the child cry for a short period, then give some incomplete comfort and walk away, let them cry a little longer each time, giving more incomplete and delayed comfort, until the child understands that he doesn’t gain reward when wakening
