title: Rethinking behavior disorders: whose attention has a deficit?
abstract: 1. Children's behavior issues stem from multiple sources that must be assessed; nursing theory provides a framework to reassess children's behavior issues. 2. Not all behavior issues are problems, but some problems may be overlooked in blanket diagnosing. 3. Nurses can play a key role in designing and implementing interventions that promote a healthy child and a well-functioning family.
