What Causes Immaturity And Naughtiness In A Boy?
Hi my son who is 9 is very immature and is very naughty he has been checked for ADHD and we were told he does not have this. When he was born his testicale did not drop so this was operated on when he was 2 this has prity much died could this lead to a behavour problem we have a 6 year old child who we would say is normal. I have thought about Fragile x syndrome as he does not like change this puts him out and he will play up. He is also very easy lead by others.

Immaturity not at par with the chronological age and peers is an issue and may be related to developmental immaturity which can be due to some birth related problems as premature birth or due to postnatal insults. However a thorough developmental history and social/intellectual assessment can give a better picture. Operation for the undescended testicles per se is not the cause. After assessment by developmental pediatrician and psychologist his weak areas can be strengthened by various programs.
