Indian metropolitan cities have seen a rising trend in reports of behavioural concerns in school-going adolescents. This trend highlights a pressing need to understand the manifestation and presentation of behavioural concerns in the classroom, from the perspectives of parents and teachers. Owing to globalisation, parents, teachers and adolescents have been exposed to socialisation practises from multiple cultures. The assimilation of these practices into the Indian culture, has impacted social interactions and social structures such as schools. Since the school structure forms, explains and sustains complex social dynamics through interaction and engagement, this study was conducted in schools in the urban areas in Delhi NCR. In-depth interviews were conducted on forty teachers and seven parents on their understanding of behavioural concerns and the perceived causes. Reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, Qualitative Research in Psychology, 3, 77-101, 2019)) revealed that the major factors behind behavioural concerns were: unavailability of parents, exposure to media and being (fe)male as prevailing themes that explained the parent’s and teacher’s understanding of perceived causes. Implications of these results are discussed.
