What Causes Sudden Strange Behaviour In Child?
my granddaughter, age 5.5, has exhibited some new behaviors. In anger, she will kick her bedroom wall, and has become very stubborn and argumentative. She recently came home from her all-day kindergarten, with a self-inflicted bite on the back of her hand. We are very concerned with this new behavior. Any suggestions?

It could be a case of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or any other kind of behavioral problem. Avoid punishing her for her behavior and try to ignore most of it. Get her to a child psychiatrist if it gets worse.
