Brain Balance Addresses Behavioral Issues Where They Start: The Brain
No, you don't have a "bad kid." And, no, you're not a bad parent. Children with behavioral struggles often have trouble managing stress and emotions due to immature brain networks affecting how they process information. This can lead to heightened emotions and reduced control, frustrating everyone involved. As a result, traditional behavioral strategies may be less effective, highlighting the need for brain-based approaches to address these challenges.
- Defiant behavior
- Aggression
- Attention Difficulties
- Emotional Outbursts
- Meltdowns
- Persistent Negativity/Outlook
- Impulsivity

What Makes the Brain Balance Program Unique
Our program uses neuroplasticity to optimize brain connections through research-backed techniques that engage sensory, visual, auditory, and tactile processing, while also improving core muscles, coordination, timing, and cognition. Combined with brain-healthy nutrition, this supports whole-brain connectivity and development.
FAQs: Brain Balance & Behavioral Issues
What are the five most common behavioral issues?
The five most common behavioral issues in children include:
- Defiant Behavior: This includes arguing, refusing to follow directions, and challenging authority in multiple settings–in school and at home.
- Impulsivity: Difficulty controlling impulses, often acting without thinking. Requires more redirection than their peers in completing simple, everyday tasks.
- Attention Difficulties: Struggling to focus, stay on task, or being easily distracted. This can be harder to notice because it is less disruptive. The child may appear to be not listening, not trying, or doesn't care.
- Aggression: They can’t control themselves. Physical or verbal aggression towards self or others, such as hitting or shouting.
- Emotional Outbursts: Frequent tantrums, crying, or extreme reactions to minor frustrations.
We also hear parents concerned about kids who are persistently negative or have a poor attitude that keeps them from engaging or cooperating.
