conditions in which the child has significant difficulties in recognizing and controlling his own and other people’s emotions, as well as with an adequate response to various social situations. The child is characterized by irritability, anxiety or depression, as well as a poor ability to adapt to everyday changes or stresses. This disorder is often associated with delayed neurological maturation of the brain regions responsible for emotional regulation and behavior control, and the problem can be exacerbated in an unfavorable or low-stimulating environment. This condition affects the ability to interact socially, follow rules, and participate in group activities. Early intervention requires educational and therapeutic programs aimed at developing self-regulation, managing emotions and promoting social adaptation.
