Normal behavior in children depends on the child's age, temperament, personality, and physical and emotional development. A child's behavior may be a problem if it doesn't match the expectations of the parents and other family members or if it is disruptive. Normal or "good" behavior is usually determined by whether it's socially, culturally, and developmentally acceptable. Knowing what to expect from your child at each age will help you decide whether his or her behavior is normal.
