| Abstract | The incredible and honorable responsibility of raising children is becoming more and more scary and overwhelming for many patients as more and more disturbed and dangerous children roam our streets. Those who will become their victims are countless. As many of them are put in prisons, still many more are at risk of despicable delinquent and mischievous behavior. As one time mom's “sweetheart” drops out of school, turns to drugs, picks up guns to kill, rape people, and break homes and shops, many dedicated and conscientious parents whose children are involved would turn around and ask, “Where did we do wrong?” “What did we not do?” “We taught we did everything right!” These are soul-searching questions from broken hearted patients, as well as for researchers on neurodevelopmental disabilities. In attempt to answer this question, neuropsychologists have uncovered in human brain propensities the tendencies that may be responsible for some bizarre and “out-of-the-blues” delinquent behaviors that may develop in children regardless conscious parental precautions and dedications toward their children. With the discovery of brain-behavior relationship, many brain-behaviour theorists have discovered some of the mysteries of early childhood-related behavioral problems. Where these problems are diagnose and treated early, many of our children will be rescued and given meaningful lives, especially those with neurodevelopment disabilities. This article attempts to investigate whether there are adequate and effective neuropsychological tests that would uncover neurodevelopmental problems early before they become explosive or damaging to children, family, and to the entire society. This effort will provide a review of neuropsychological testing that are often used with children and adolescence, while highlighting how they can be beneficiary to parents, teachers, and to the public. |
