Behavioral issues often surface during predictable moments—such as bedtime, homework, or screen time limits—but can also arise unexpectedly when emotions run high. For children, challenges in emotional regulation may trigger frequent outbursts over minor frustrations. In teenagers, additional factors such as mood swings, rebellious behavior, and struggles with autonomy can further complicate family dynamics, leading to recurring cycles of conflict and stress that affect overall well-being.

Common contributing factors include:

• Emotional Dysregulation: Difficulty managing emotions often results in explosive reactions.
• Routine Disruptions: Sudden changes in daily routines or transitions between activities can trigger stress and uncertainty.
• Communication Gaps: When children and teens struggle to express their needs, built-up frustration can lead to misbehavior.
