Summary
Children and teens seem irritable or even hostile when they are tired or ill. They tend to argue or disobey their parents in a bid to show maturity. Young children sometimes lie to get out of trouble because they do not understand the differences with truth. This seems normal, when they act this way each time they get into trouble at home, school, or with other kids in the neighborhood, they are likely to possess a disruptive behavior disorder(Prakash, Mitra, & Prabhu, 2008). 1999; Roberts, Attkisson, & Rosenblatt, COUNS-EDU The International Journal of Counseling and Education
