Attention-seeking behaviour can take many forms. For example, it can be a child talking, seeking validation, making noises, raising their hand, clowning around, blurting out, needing someone to help, teach, or watch them do something, tattling, provoking a confrontation, incessantly questioning, bullying or teasing, or telling fantastical stories or exaggerated unrealistic experiences.

Attention-seeking behaviour becomes a concern with any of the following occurrences:

  • the duration (i.e., how long each incident of the attention-seeking behaviour lasts) becomes excessive.
  • the frequency (i.e., how often a child exhibits attention-seeking behaviour) becomes excessive.
  • the intensity (i.e., the strength of the attention-seeking behaviour) escalates from minor behaviours into extreme behaviours
  • the attention-seeking behaviour negatively impacts the child's participation in activities, interactions with others, or their day-to-day functioning and development.
