Caregivers who interact with children at home can provide a critical, complementary perspective on a child's behaviour functioning. This research used a parent‐administered measure of problem behaviours to study perceptions of child behaviours across home situations. We applied latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of children with common behavioural tendencies in a nationally representative sample (N = 709) of 4‐ to 13‐year‐old children in Trinidad and Tobago. This study (a) identified latent profiles of children's over‐ and underactive behaviour problems in varied home settings and (b) examined how profile membership predicted academic skills and teacher‐observed problem behaviours. The best‐fitting four‐profile model included one profile of adjusted behaviours (56%), one of the elevated attention‐seeking behaviours (21%), a profile featuring withdrawn and disengaged behaviours (15%) and a relatively rare profile emphasising aggressive behaviours (8%). Children classified in the last profile displayed the poorest academic outcomes and the highest levels of teacher‐observed behaviour problems.
