Confusion Over Antisocial vs. Normal Defiant Behavior

Parents often struggle to tell whether their child's behavior is just part of normal development or a deeper issue. They may feel uncertain about when typical adolescent rebellion turns into something more serious, like antisocial behaviors.

Fear of Escalating Behavioral Problems

Parents may worry that their child’s defiant or aggressive actions will escalate into more severe issues as they grow older. Concerns about future criminal behavior, substance abuse, or violence can be overwhelming, leading to fear about their child's future.

Feeling Unprepared to Handle Difficult Behaviors

Parents can feel unprepared when their child exhibits signs of manipulative or harmful behavior, like lying, bullying, or aggression. The lack of clear guidelines can leave them feeling helpless or unsure of how to respond effectively.
