AB Disruptive,  problematic  behavior  is  ubiquitous  and  an  integral  aspect  of  normal  development.  In  fact,  the  natural  drive  of  children  to  increasingly  assert  their  autonomy  as  they  grow  older  and  more  independent  inevitably  sets  them  on  a  path  leading  to  disagreement  and  conflict  with  their  caregivers.  Of  course,  children  vary  greatly  in  their  frustration  tolerance,  their  overall  self-regulation,  and  their  need  to  assert  themselves.  Such  interindividual  differences  interact  with  environmental  responses,  particularly  in  the  caregiving  environment,  which  itself  may  vary  greatly  in  terms  of  sensitivity  and  responsiveness  to  children’s  developmental  needs,  capacity  to  promote  trust  and  social  learning,  and  ability  to  provide  effective  models  in  such  areas  as  prosocial  behavior;  coping  with  frustration,  stress,  and  conflict;  and  problem  solving.  This  complex  interaction  between  biologically  based  motivational  dispositions  and  environmental  responses  shapes,  organizes,  and  reinforces  developmental  trajectories  in  which  normative  conflict  can  turn  into  disruptive  behavioral  disorder.
