Abstract
Introduction Behaviour problems like hyperactivity, lack of focus, temper tantrums, aggression, disobedience, conflicts with peers, nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and insomnia can happen during childhood or during the formative years of human development. The behavioural problem might not yet be categorised as a mental disorder, but it could develop into one. Although it could be challenging to spot these problems in young children. Schools are places where kids spend a lot of time and are active. Therefore, schools are the finest setting for young children’s mental and physical growth. Objective The study objective is to assess the prevalence of the behavioural problems among school-going children. Methods This cross-sectional observational study will be conducted on school going children in government school using a questionnaire, (which include questions based on socio-demographic and child behaviour characteristics). Sample population involved 172 school-going children aged 15-18 years old. Data will be collected by Google Form (using as a data collection tool) and Microsoft Excel (MS Excel 2010) will be used for the analysis. Study implication Study interest will be identifying the factors influencing behavioural change in school-going children and to develop an intervention program to address these issues and development of effective interventions targeting behaviour-related problems in school-going children.
