CONT

L'instabilité ou agitation psychomotrice [...] peut être réelle, mais dans des cas limités, [...] l'agitation permanente de l'enfant répond à un dysfonctionnement cérébral à minima [...] La plupart des instabilités sont symptomatiques d'un malaise affectif important ou même mineur, et à certains moments elles ne sont que l'expression critique d'une phase évolutive normale, l'enfant libérant ainsi son trop-plein d'énergie.
