Reason for the Selection

Mental health is very common among children. Emotional and behavior disturbance among children and adolescents are among the most common issues that affect their learning abilities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies and effective means to enable children to overcome the emotional disorder and enhance effective learning.

Studying this topic on emotional and behavioral disorders allows me to understand and develop the necessary skills for dealing with different behavioral disorders. As a teacher, it is necessary to understand the different types of behavioral issues caused by different factors. In children, behavioral disorders include autisms, depression, disruption, pervasive, and anxiety.

Understanding the emotional and behavioral disorder among school children helps in enhancing my role and skills as a teacher. Essentially, it allows me to explore different types of emotional and behavioral disorders and understand the various causes and triggering factors. Besides, it will also give insight into the appropriate interventions and strategies to manage and minimize the impact of these issues on students' learning abilities. The knowledge will enhance my ability to provide effective and equal learning opportunities for students. With this knowledge, it is easy to identify when a student develops a behavioral disorder and take the right action. The knowledge will ensure that all students are provided with the necessary support and resources that promote effective learning despite their learning abilities. The aim is to ensure that I can freely interact with my students with issues of emotional or behavioral disturbances.
