Challenging Classroom Behaviors
Discuss the following topics:
Behavioral health as it pertains to a child’s set of behaviors that are in response to early experiences and actions of others.
Emotional development as it pertains to a child’s increasing ability to express emotions appropriately.
Social development as it pertains to the growth of a child’s capacity to have relationships and to work cooperatively in the future (Groark & Song, 2012).
Create a visual and written plan for a parent bulletin board that you will place on a large wall outside your classroom which parents will see when they enter your facility.

School Age Parent Bulletin Board
Common characteristics of behavioral health, emotional development, and social development at this level.
Specific ways you are supporting this development in the classroom.
