Behavioural and emotional problems in preschool children
Black, M. M., Jukes, M. C. H., & Willoughby, M. T. (2017). Behavioural and emotional problems in preschool children. The Lancet Psychiatry, 4(2), 89-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(17)30005-6
In what appears to be the first epidemiological survey in Africa addressing preschool children's behaviour, caregivers in rural Kenya1 reported high rates of preschool children (420 [13%] of 3273) with behavioural and emotional problems; 338 (10%) of 3273 had externalising problems and 728 (22%) of 3273 had internalising problems. Historically, behavioural and emotional problems in preschool children have often been disregarded or considered to be transient aspects of children's emerging autonomy.
