Abstract
Background: Behavioural problems refer to improper expressions of conduct, code or etiquettes. These are becoming more evident in recent years in rural as well as urban regions due to poor parenting. Ayurveda is not only a mere medical science but a life science too, which has widely described Sadvritta (good conduct) and Satvavajay (psychotherapy) which can be applied in this context. Aim: The review aims at highlighting the concepts of prevention of behavioural problems of children through various ways of good parenting by applying the principles of Ayurveda. Materials & Methods: The data collected for the present study was through classical literatures of Ayurveda from 2nd century BC to 4th century AD, journals and research works related to good parenting and child psychology and counselling experiences of the author. Observations: Major causes of behavioural problems in children includes genetic predisposition, environmental factors, parental neglect, Pragyaparadh (intellectual blasphemy) and Dushita Ahara (unhealthy diet regimen).
