A Strategic Outline of Children’s Emotional and Behavioral Problems

Abstract

Major contributors to illnesses and disabilities among young individuals are mental health issues like developmental disorders, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. As per the WHO, 10% of the world’s children and adolescents suffer from a mental disorder, however the majority of them never ask for assistance or medical attention. For people aged 15 to 19, suicide is the fourth most common cause of death. Lack of attention to children’s and teenagers’ psychological and psychosocial development has long-term effects that limit opportunities for adults to have fulfilling lives. Mental illnesses in children can be managed and treated but it is crucial to be aware of the occurrence of these issues so that suitable services for mental health can be designed and offered to the children who need them, improving their chances of living long, healthy lives. In a classroom setting, teachers undeniably have the larger responsibility. They play a crucial role in every educational system and are essential in establishing a positive learning environment. By utilizing all the resources at their disposal, educators and support staff can help the child succeed. This theme based paper emphasizes that children with mental problems can have better lives with early identification and the right strategies that can be used with them for better results.
