Child Psych

Answer: B - Parents are most likely to seek consultation with a psychologist if their child is a boy. Boys tend to be more externally symptomatic, whereas girls tend to internalize their problems. Boys exhibit a higher frequency of disruptive behavior that is disturbing to others, like hyperactivity and getting into fights. However, girls are more likely to be finicky eaters and to feel anxious and depressed, problems parents feel they can handle on their own.
