Awareness Programs for Conduct Disorder | Cadabam’s Child Development Center
Parenting is tough—especially when your child’s behaviour feels aggressive, defiant or out of control. Awareness programs for Conduct Disorder shine a light on what is happening and what to do next. At Cadabams CDC, we translate complex child-psychology research into practical, parent-friendly sessions so you never feel alone.

Why Awareness Matters: Impact & Statistics
Prevalence Data
- 2–10 % of school-age children meet criteria for Conduct Disorder (WHO, 2023).
- Boys are 2–4 times more likely than girls to be affected.
- Early onset (before age 10) predicts more severe outcomes unless caught early.
Early Identification Benefits
- 70 % fewer school suspensions when teachers recognise signs in Grade 3 or earlier.
- 50 % reduction in police contact by age 15 if families complete parent-training within 12 months of diagnosis.
Reducing Stigma
- After our workshops, 85 % of parents report feeling “less blamed and more empowered.”
- Teachers say they are twice as likely to refer a child for help instead of punishment.
