In order to decide this, it is necessary to have a good grasp of the developmental characteristics of the child's age. Changes that occur in the child depending on his developmental process may cause difficulties in his life. The child may experience temporary adaptation problems until he adapts to the new conditions. In other words, in order to call a behavior a behavioral disorder, it must be outside the behaviors specific to the developmental period. Another criterion is the intensity of the behavior. The intensity of the resulting emotion and behavior must be greater than normal. And continuity of behavior is one of the criteria. The behavior must be continued persistently for a long time.

The most effective methods for behavioral disorder are ignoring, withdrawing the reward, offering alternatives, giving verbal warnings and avoiding discussion. Shouting, silencing, hitting will break the bond of respect between you. The most important step is not to lose respect in this process. Discovering, revealing and encouraging the child's positive points reduces negative behaviors and makes him/her self-confident. These children need unconditional love. In other words, no matter what the circumstances are, one should feel accepted and loved by the parents. Punishment or violence should never be used. The incident regarding his behavior should be discussed when he is calm, not at the moment. The child should be given a sense of success by giving him responsibilities appropriate to his age, and parents should be a positive role model for the child. You should be concerned not when negative behaviors are shown, but when these behaviors are not shown, otherwise it will cause these behaviors to be reinforced. One should not think that he/she has gained attention from his parents thanks to his behavior. Even "don't do it" is actually an interest. Parents should be a model for the child by keeping the promises they make to the child and asking for permission when buying something belonging to the child. He/she should not be compared to other children, and expectations should be set appropriate to his or her age and characteristics. When negative behavior occurs, the child should be encouraged to be creative and directed to a positive activity. Children should be allowed to share simple, unimportant topics with their parents so that the perception that they can talk to their parents comfortably is created. It is very difficult for him to talk about important issues, feelings and thoughts with his parents, to whom he cannot even talk about unimportant things.

The attitudes and behaviors of parents, as well as children, need to be regulated. Because the attitudes of the mother and father play a big role in the child's behavior. Therefore, the most effective way during the therapy process is parent education. If left untreated, it can cause many problems, especially permanent behavioral disorders and antisocial personality disorder.
