What is a Childhood Behavioral Challenge?

If you are trying to cope with childhood behavioral challenges, please call Mid-Kansas Pediatric and Associates in East Wichita, West Wichita, and Derby, KS, and schedule an appointment. Our pediatrician doctors can help you and your child overcome these challenges. Challenges include some of the following.

• Bullying

• Argumentative

Our esteemed doctors work to uncover why your child displays behavioral challenges or possible mental health problems as the primary reason for unique behavior.

Milestones that the child must go through may present some behaviors. Puberty brings about hormonal changes, which can develop challenging behaviors that make the child and parent miserable. 

We need you to understand that no treatment is effective unless it fits you and your child's needs. You have taken the first step by calling us for help, and we are here for you and your child. Some approaches we may take are, 

• Comprehensive evaluation by a mental health professional
• Exploring possible learning problems
