Knowing the signs

There often aren’t many signs to show what a child is going through emotionally and physically, but there are a few ways to spot the signs in a child’s actions or emotions.

These changes are a common and normal part of growing up but in some cases children go too far and don’t have enough support to manage their emotions and be in control of their emotions, which causes them to act out and be harmful not only to themselves but to other students and now, their teachers as well.

Here are some of the signs in their changes of emotion:

School going children may:

• struggle to control their emotion and have extreme outbursts no matter how small the problem.
• they may isolates themselves from everyone, including their parents,
• lack social skills, and may have few friends
• use abusive language that is not appropriate for someone their age.
