Abstract
Behaviour problems in children are universal, indeed they are essential. Friction inevitably results from the infinitely complex process through which each child adjusts to his own emotional, intellectual and physical development while simultaneously forming and testing his relationships with his family, his peers and others. Indeed, it seems remarkable how smoothly most children mature and find their place in society and how seldom their early experiments in behaviour cause more than transient and acceptable aggravation.
