Based on your answer to the quiz, your child may have clinically significant problems with their behavior. 

How did we come to that conclusion?

This self-test was loosely adapted from The BASC-3 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BASC-3 BESS). This is not a diagnostic tool, but it provides a quick and systematic way to assess whether a child’s behavior may or may not be normal for their age.  An accurate diagnosis can only be made through clinical evaluation with a professional child therapist.

The silver lining for behavioral problems is that they are VERY treatable – especially when addressed at a young age. Therapy allows a young child between the ages of 3 to 11 to:

• Learn how to talk about their emotions and to use coping skills to manage their intense emotions instead of acting out
• Repair or improve the family and peer relationships in their life so that they create a positive social network and to improve their self-esteem
• Process any difficult or traumatic events that may be contributing to their behavior, allowing them to move past these events in a healthy way and
• Live up to their full potential and stop their behavior problems from holding them back from the wonderful future that they deserve.
