Hi, most of the children behave little abnormally due to not accostomed to the surroundings, and friends. viewing television continuously, or handling laptop or cell phones some times causes symptoms. First thing to get through is the councilling means good words, to reach mind.
As you are thinking of going to the child behavior specialist, you can woit till that time , or if you start medicines also there is no problem.
thank you.
