Abstract

Behavioral problems in children appear in various forms, such as internalizing and externalizing problems which can affect parenting and family functioning. Family function is one of the causes as well as the solution in externalizing problem behavior. Untreated externalizing behaviors are associated with a wide range of negative outcomes for children and adolescents where boys tend to have a higher externalizing problem than girls. This study aims to describe the condition of children with certain problem behavior and describe the family function in a child with externalizing problem behavior and the ways to overcome the behaviors. This is case-study research, with observation and interview methods conducted to the subject “A” and the subject’s mother. The results of this study indicate that “A” has several behavioral problems such as hyperactivity, inattention, problems in communication skills as well as in writing skills which appear in externalizing problems. In general, the functioning of family A in overcoming behavioral problems is still not optimal and lack of its cohesiveness, flexibility, and communication. Suggestions are given to improve family functioning in overcoming behavioral problems in children because the function of the family is very important in the development of personality and character formation.
