All kids misbehave some times, but behavior disorders go beyond mischief and rebellion. With behavior disorders, your child or teen has a pattern of hostile, aggressive or disruptive behaviors for more than 6 months. Saginaw Psychological Services offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment.    Family and peer relationships are emphasized through individual and group therapy. Educational consultation and advocacy is provided when required.

If you see signs of a problem, ask for help. Poor choices can become habits. Kids who have behavior problems are at higher risk for school failure, mental health problems and even suicide. Classes or family therapy may help parents learn to set and enforce limits.

Consultation with the school and advocacy is provided when required.
