What is one possible symptom of a child identified as having behavior issues?

Excellent academic performance
Indifference to school authority
Strong relationships with peers
Heightened creativity

The correct answer is: Indifference to school authority

Indifference to school authority can be a significant symptom of behavior issues in children. This characteristic often manifests as a lack of respect for rules, instructions, or requests from teachers and other school personnel. Children displaying such indifference might resist authority, challenge rules, or engage in disruptive behaviors that disrupt the learning environment. While excellent academic performance, strong relationships with peers, and heightened creativity are positive traits that children may exhibit, they are generally not associated with behavior problems. A child who shows indifference to authority may struggle academically and socially as their behavior can interfere with their ability to connect positively with peers and engage constructively in educational settings. Understanding this dynamic can help caregivers and educators identify children who may need support in developing more appropriate behaviors and improving their relationships with authority figures.
