This behavior can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including “prolonged tantrums, physical and verbal aggression, disruptive vocal and motor behavior (screaming), destruction, self-injury, noncompliance, and withdrawal” (Dunlap, 2015). Children who have challenging behavior tendencies often hinder their social and emotional development, since their behaviors often separate themselves from peers, and typically the only peers that will want to be around them are those that struggle with the same negative behavior, thus encouraging and promoting the child to continue to act out. Researchers claim, “Because they’re frequently rejected by their classmates, [children with challenging behavior] have few opportunities to learn and practice social and emotional skills” (Rasminsky, 2015). When a child proves to have many outbursts and can be seen getting in trouble or being violent, their peers will most likely decide not to associate themselves with that child, which causes the child to become more frustrated that no one wants to be around them, while in other cases may cause the child to withdrawal completely. Either way, a child with challenging behavior typically struggles in social settings, as well as confronting and expressing their
