It’s normal for children to occasionally struggle with social interactions or test boundaries. However, when these behaviors are persistent, severe, or atypical for their age, they may indicate a behavioral disorder. Disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), and Conduct Disorder (CD), involve ongoing behaviors that negatively impact relationships and functioning. Early identification and intervention are crucial for supporting a child’s emotional and social well-being.
Some indicators of disruptive, impulse-control, or conduct disorders include:
