Handling Learners With Psycho-Social and Emotional Challenges

Based on the information provided, it seems Henry is being bullied by his classmates and is experiencing withdrawal, anxiety, and low self-esteem as a result. Some potential ways to address this include: - Having a caring, non-judgmental conversation to build trust and let Henry know he has support. Ask open-ended questions to understand what's really happening from his perspective. - Speaking to the teacher and principal to make them aware and get their support in addressing the bullying directly with the other students. Monitor the situation and follow up regularly. - Connecting Henry with social-emotional learning resources or a school counselor he feels comfortable with, to help process feelings and develop coping strategies. - Eng

Basic Roles that Children
adopt to Survive
Responsible Child
“Family Hero”
 This child takes over the parent
role at a very young age ,
becoming very responsible and
self sufficient. They give the family
self-worth because they look good
on the outside. They are good
students, the sports star, the prom
queens. The parents look to this
child to prove tat they are good
parents and good people.
“Acting out Child”
 This child that the family feels
Scapegoat ashamed of- and the most
emotionally honest child in the
family. He/She act out the
tension and anger the family
ignores. this child provides
distraction from the real issues
in the family. The scapegoat
usually has trouble in school
because they get attention the
only way they know how -
which is negatively. They often
become pregnant or addicted
as teenagers.
“Mascot” - “Caretaker”
 This
child takes responsibility for the
emotional well-being of the family.
They become the families “Social
Director” and or clown, diverting the
family's attention from the pain and
anger.
Adjuster - Lost Child

 Thischild escapes by attempting to be

invisible. they daydream, fantasize, read
a lot of books or watch a lot of TV. They
deal with reality by withdrawing from it.
They deny that they have any feelings
and “don't bother getting upset”.

Some Challenges of 21st
Century Parents
 1. Busyness- parenting takes time
 2. Lack of Communication - they cannot
keep track of their kids.
 3. OFW Syndrome
 4. How to discipline a millenial child?
Prof. Jocano,Jr. of UP stated
 One of the most common practices of
Filipino parents with their children is the
consistent accompaniment of children with
an elder, an old relative, a family friend or
the traditional yaya. according from
Jocano,this practice is an excellent
method for the child to develop his/her
interpersonal relationship or skills. However,
the reverse effect of this practice is the
strong dependency of the children to their
parents until adulthood.
Study of Aguila
 Too much overprotection of the parents to their
children can weaken the childre's emotional,
psyschological, and even their moral backbone.

 Aguila says, “ I do not see resillience in manny of

the people today, especially those who are born in
well-off families. they are prone to depression and
become depressed at minor problems. you'd see
cases of a teenager who would lock himself in the
room for days and not talk to his parents for weeks
just because he was snobbed by his barkada.”
Why Do Children MISBEHAVE?

Handling different types of
learners
 Dealingwith POWER
Keep Calm
Cool
and Collective
When Personalities Clash!
 Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we
find ourselves actively disliking one of the
students in our charge. The student may
be rude, disrespectful, disruptive,
obnoxious, or otherwise annoying. It's just
human nature; some personalities clash.
But instead of feeling guilty about our
feelings, we can tke positive steps to
improve them, says school psychologist
and teacher Shelley Krapes. Here are
some of her suggestions:
Use positive strategies when
dealing with the child.
 One such strategy is addressing specific
behaviors with precise language that
describes what needs to be done. In addition,
try to seat the student near to you or a helpful
student, praise the student liberally but
sincerely, give the student choices to
promote self - worth and feelings of control,
be firm and consistent about your rules, and
express displeasure with the student's
behavior without criticizing the student.
Set a goal.
 Ifthe situation between you and the
child has not improved after two or
three months of your best effort, it
may be time to recommend
professional/ psychological/
educational testing. Some problems
are very complex and beyond your
control.
Try to understand where the
behavior is coming from.
 Is the student distressed by a death,
divorce, new baby, learning disability, or
some other overwhelming experience?
Speaking to the students' parents or
guardian may shed light on underlying
causes and help you develop sympathy
through understanding.
Help yourself manage negative
feelings by reflecting on a past
situation in your life where a similar
conflict occured.

 Discuss the situation with a friend or by

writing your thoughts in a journal. Making
and understanding these connections
can help you let go of some of your
current hostility or resentment.
 Effective teachers discipline with
encouragement and kind words much
more often than rebukes or reprimands.
The goal is to help students feel good
about themselves and their behavior in
the classroom.
Case Study
Henry is 11 years old and attends an Elementary School which is located a few
blocks from his home. He is in the sixth grade and is an average student. Henry
has always been a bit shy and somewhat anxious around his peers. He just
moved to this city three months ago and has not yet made any friends at the
new school, though he does have a “best friend” at his old school. Henry is quite
tall and thin for his age and is very self - conscious about his appearance.
Over the past month, Henry has become increasingly withdrawn several weeks
ago he came home with a tear in his favorite jacket. When his mother asked
him what happened, he hurriedly said it was an accident. He goes straight to his
room after school and shuts the door. His mother has noticed that he has
become more irritable and is often tearful, but when she tries to talk to him
about this, he tells her to go. She is worried about him but, thinks this a phase
he's going through because they've just moved to a new city, etc. She also
worries about making Henry too dependent on her if she gets too involved in his
problems.
You hear through others that Henry is being teased by his classmates several
times a week in particular, two children - a girl and a boy, make fun of the way
he looks and have convinced most of his classmates to avoid him at lunch.

what is happening?
