Abstract

Abstract A rating of parental concern was added to the Behaviour Checklist (BCL), which was then used as part of a Health Visitor administered routine developmental assessment of 11 70, 3‐year‐aId children. The overall prevalence of behaviour problems using a cut‐off score of 10 was 10%, with 66% of parents having one or more concerns about their child. There were no sex differences. Parents of only children had more concerns on 6 of the 19 items even though their children behaved no differently from those with siblings. The usefulness of the BCL as n routine screening measure and the need la identify and address parental concerns at an early stage is discussed.
