Though these disorders are more common in the early developmental period of the child and bring some major challenges for the parent in their upbringing.
A lot of experimentation and research is being done on the diagnosis of the various types of behavioral disorders. These disorders can of many types. Majorly these disorders are classified into two types. One is internalizing and the other one is externalizing. Internalizing refers to the inner world of the child i.e. how the child feels within, his sadness, worries, fears, self-consciousness and happiness. Externalizing refers to the outer world of child i.e. how the child response to the world, how he displays behavior to others such as his anxiety, disobedience, aggression, ignorance and all. There are many different behavioral disorders that fall into one or both of these categories. It is very common for a child to be diagnosed with one or two at the same time. The most common behavioral disorders among children are discussed below.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is among most common disorders. According to an extensive survey two to three more boys are affected with this disorder than girls. ADHD causes behavior that is above normal levels of hyperactive or disruptive behavior. It is also further characterized into inattentive, impulsive and combined type. Many children with this disorder are unable to properly sit quietly and finish the task that has been provided to them. They are unable to focus and follow directions to plan ahead. Whatever is going around in their surroundings, these kids are unaware of it or they are not able to involve their cooperation with others. They may also have a hard time for sitting still for longer periods of time. Some days these kids with ADHD may seem fine or absolutely normal but next day they could be a whole bundle of disorganized and frenzied activity. These disorders develop with the growing period of child so with proper treatment and therapy, children with ADHP can develop and learn to focus and function in new ways.

Oppositional defiant disorder is a disorder in which a child displays and express a more frequent and persistent pattern of anger, annoyance or irritability. With this disorder, children frequently argue with their adults particularly their parents. There is a complete rejection to rules and regulations. Such kids at time deliberately try to tease or annoy others as they have got low self-esteem so they are not able to cope with others. They are nearly at the threshold of their frustration. If a child shows constant vindictiveness towards you or any other authoritative figure in their life then he or she may have oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).

It also at times includes other types of criminal activity like theft, forgery, sexual abuse, using drugs or weapons and all. Kids with Conduct disorder are often perceived as bad kids because of their felonious behavior and their antisocial conduct. Children who have this Conduct disorder are often hard to control and they are totally out of the control or instruction zone. They are prone to act impulsively without considering what would be the consequences of their actions. They do not take into consideration any kind of feelings or emotions at all.

A child with OCD engages in repetitive behavior without realizing the consequences of ones actions or nature of these actions. There is nothing more in these repetitive actions, it only relieves their stress temporarily but other people find such behavior quite disorderly.
