Abstract

Parents are frequently concerned about their children's behaviour patterns, especially if they are repetitive or stereotyped. These patterns are important: they are common in children with normal psychological status, but they may also occur in children with developmental problems or emotional difficulties, or may be secondary to physical disorders.
