Prediction of Behavioral Disorders among Preschooler: A Survey Report
Abstract:
Children show a wide variety of behavioural
disorders; management of these minor behaviour deviations requires an
understanding of the stresses that lead to these problems. So, giving education
to the parents regarding the common behavioural problems of children will help
them in better management of these problems in future. A Quantitative research
approach was adopted for the study with a descriptive Cross-sectional survey
research design with 60 preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years of children who are
receiving Integrated Child Development Services Centre using a non-probability
convenience sampling technique. A Self-Structured Knowledge Questionnaire was
framed to assess the behavioural disorders. The questionnaire consists of 3
items which include habit disorder, conduct disorder, and emotional disorder.
The data obtained will be analyzed given the objectives of the study using
descriptive and inferential statistics. Total of 60 preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years
children the standardized beta indicates the relative contribution of all five
dimensions of the independent variables in predicting emotional disorder based
on the percentage of prediction of emotional disorder. Age (07.3%), Gender
(09.9%), Parents occupation (03.7%), Monthly income (13.2%) No. of siblings
(15.7%) and Birth order (10.9%). Thus, these dimensions of readiness for the
adoption of CEIT influence Emotional disorder. In most of the behavioural
problem subscales, girls experienced more problems compared to boys (P=0.001).
Based on the results, in most of the behavioural problem subscales, girls
experienced more problems compared to boys. To exhibit fewer behaviour-related
problems than children with unsupportive parents and difficult family
circumstances.
