Question
How do I know if my child's behavior is normal?
Answer
The difference between normal and abnormal behavior is not always clear; usually it is a matter of degree or expectation. A fine line often divides normal from abnormal behavior, in part because what is "normal" depends upon the child's level of development, which can vary greatly among children of the same age. Understanding your child's unique developmental progress is necessary in order to interpret, accept or adapt his behavior.
