Guidelines for parents, teachers and professionals in the handling of rebellious childrenRebelliousness is the act of defying lawful authority or a resistant way of relating to authority. 
 It is seen by many as a normal way of development.
 
 The development of rebellious behavior actually starts in childhood and progresses through 
 to adulthood.
 The study focuses on the manner in which the family and school handle the rebellious child and the negative effects that these have on the child's development. These problems may manifest in truancy, delinquency, negativism, runaway, antisocial behavior, alcohol and substance abuse and gang involvement.
 The results of the study prove that the environment in which the adolescent lives, contribute greatly to the development and the maintenance of rebellious
 behavior.
 
 Guidelines were written for parents, teachers and psychologists regarding the handling of the 
 rebellious child.
