Behaviour change
Particularly lethargy
Facts
-
-
Many babies and young children will show a change in behaviour at times associated with changes in home, nursery circumstances and ill health.
-
Most changes in behaviour will not be caused by brain tumour.
-
Most changes in behaviour will not be persistent (i.e. occur on most days over a period of time) or pervasive (i.e. occurring in multiple environments e.g. home/nursery/holiday).
-
Most children with a change in behaviour associated with a brain tumour will have other symptoms/signs – these should be looked for carefully.
Behaviour changes caused by a brain tumour:
-
-
Are expected to occur persistently – routinely over days or weeks
-
Are expected to occur pervasively – across at all settings, such as at home, at nursery, at play, on outings or visits away
