CHILD EMOTIONAL ABUSE
8. Compulsive Behaviours
Notes:
Information:
Compulsive behaviours can include:
- excessive neatness and cleanliness
- rituals to provide comfort
- behaviours that impede normal daily activities.
Some children might exhibit signs of compulsive behaviours that aren’t part of normal developmental behaviour for their age.
Compulsive behaviours are a problem when they impede the child’s development or normal activities during the day.
