Every child has moments of acting out. Whether it’s a temper tantrum in the grocery store, resistance at bedtime, or trouble focusing in class, these behaviors are often part of normal development. But what happens when these challenges go beyond the typical growing pains and begin to disrupt everyday life?

At 360 Pediatric Psychology, located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, we specialize in helping children and families navigate behavioral concerns that may be affecting learning, friendships, and family harmony. If you’re a parent who’s feeling uncertain about whether to seek help, know this: you’re not alone, and early support can make a profound difference.

What We Do

We provide comprehensive behavioral assessments for typically developing children and teens to better understand their challenges and strengths. Our evaluations also help rule out possible medical causes contributing to behavior issues, giving families a clearer path forward.

Some of the most common concerns we assess and treat include:

  • Childhood fears (such as separation anxiety or phobias)
  • Bedtime routines and sleep disturbances
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Adjustment disorders due to changes such as divorce, moving, or school transitions
  • Tantrums and emotional outbursts
  • Noncompliance and persistent defiance
  • Mealtime struggles
  • Coping with chronic illness and its emotional toll

How We Help

Our goal isn’t just to diagnose—it’s to empower families. Therapy at 360 Pediatric Psychology is personalized, practical, and grounded in research. Many families begin to notice improvement  as we provide immediate tools for managing difficult behaviors and building resilience.

Children benefit from learning self-regulation and coping skills, while parents receive support in understanding what’s driving their child’s behavior and how to respond effectively. This teamwork reduces stress for everyone in the household.

Why Early Intervention Matters

The earlier we address behavioral concerns, the better the outcomes. Behavioral and emotional difficulties that are left unaddressed may impact your child’s self-esteem, academic performance, and social development. By seeking guidance early on, families can prevent these challenges from snowballing into larger issues.

If you’re at the investigative stage and wondering if your child’s behavior warrants professional attention, trust your instincts. Reach out for a consultation. It’s never too early—or too late—to support your child’s mental and emotional health.
