The causes of emotional and behavioral issues in children are multifaceted and can include genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Key contributors include:
Genetics: A family history of mental health issues can increase risk. Environment: Stressful life events, such as parental divorce, can trigger issues. Brain Chemistry: Imbalances in neurotransmitters may affect mood and behavior. Trauma: Exposure to traumatic events can have long-term effects on emotional well-being. Parenting Style: Overly strict or permissive parenting can contribute to behavior problems.
