Easily Appearing Angry
Some children are more hostile or angrier than others and are at risk for emotional outburst or aggression. One common source for such anger can be frustration when the child does not get what he or she wants or is asked to do something that he or she may not like. In some children, anger issues often accompany with other mental health issues like Attention- Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder or Mood Disorders. Hence, seeking help on time is necessary.

Aggression or Throwing Temper Tantrums

Cellphone Usage
Children all over the world are using smartphones for many purposes and reasons. Some children are seen talking with their friends, clicking selfies or playing online games on their smartphones for hours. Though a smartphone is said to be a boon or an asset to this generation, it can be harmful and dangerous to the child in many ways. It can seriously affect the child’s mental, physical, social and academic areas. Thus, parents need to be vigilant and must take appropriate measures about mobile phone safety and its disciplined usage.

Therapy will help the child to come back on a right track of success in all arenas of life.
