Naughtiness may be from head injury - The Times 30th October 2007

Bad behaviour in children could be the result of an undiagnosed brain injury, a charity has said. The Children’s Trust, based in Tadworth, Surrey, wants to raise awareness among parents and teachers of acquired brain injury (ABI) because the effects, which can be more noticeable at times of stress, such as moving from primary to secondary school, can be misdiagnosed or perceived as bad behaviour. The charity is meeting MPs this week and is calling for statistics to be made available so that the extent of ABI, which can alter a child’s personality, can be uncovered.
