Problem behavior is defined as behavioral excesses that are socially significant, that hinders the ability of the person or others to acquire new skills and leads to restrictive living arrangements (Hanley, Iwata, & McCord (2003). Multiple causes are associated with problem behavior, which can happen in children of all ages. The present study intends to survey to understand the pattern of problem behavior among primary school children in Ernakulam, Kerala. Participants consisted of 432 parents of 208 male children and 224 female children of 6 - 10 years. Developmental Psychopathology Checklist for Children developed by Kapur, M. et.al, (1994) has been used to collect the data. Results showed that the frequency of occurrence of Developmental history, developmental problems, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, learning disability, and Emotional problems was found to be 19%,15%,35%,33%,19%, and 33% respectively among the participants.
