Positive Classroom Behavior

Editor's Notes

• #2: Emotional development affects social connections: If a child feels insecure, rejected, unwanted, and lacks self-esteem, it will be difficult for him to reach out with confidence and make new friends. The physical impacts the social: If a child is not feeling well physically, she will probably be fussy, cranky, and irritable, which makes getting along with others nearly impossible. The cognitive affects the social: It is hard for a child to feel smart when others ridicule or embarrass him. If a child is rejected on the playground in the morning, it will definitely be difficult to concentrate on math in the afternoon.
