What Is Observable Child Behavior?
Observable child behavior is a phrase commonly used by professionals when discussing a child’s emotional or behavioral problems. There are several reasons why a parent might hear the phrase from a doctor, teacher, social worker or counselor, ranging from poor grades to truancy to physical fights or police contact. It’s industry lingo and it usually means something is out of the ordinary. If you have concerns about your child’s mental or behavioral health, consult your pediatrician or a professional counselor.
