Imagine this blog post would be for the website of a parent blog such as Empowering Parents (click hyperlink)

In your blog entry, be sure to address the following:

• Define and classify the progression of the specific behavioral disorder; be sure to include the symptoms.
• Explain why parents should have a good understanding of the behavior disorder.

• Explain what the current research states about the specific behavioral disorder.
• Provide a developmental progression of the disorder and place in context (for example, it is typical for a child in day care or preschool to mess her pants, but it is not typical for the child to do this when she is in third grade).
