Have you ever wondered if a child is being super moody or if they are just acting like a typical toddler? In the article “Is Your Child Acting Out—or Just Acting His Age?” by Jennifer Benjamin from Parents Magazine she talks about her twin four year old boys. She says that there is a difference between a toddler acting their age and acting up. For example, in the article she talks about how her boys were acting up when she stated that it was time for them to leave a party, but the boys did not want to leave. Later on that day she asked them why they reacted that way, they simply stated that they were just upset that they had to leave because they did not want to go yet. Benjamin states that “at that age, children are all about instant
Thinking back on the boys childhood there are countless examples of both. A prime example of childish irresponsible happened when my oldest was trying to get home from school instead of coming straight home as instructed,
It is relatively common knowledge for anyone that has been around toddlers or teenagers that they can be quite moody. Toddlers will throw tantrums when they are unhappy or do not get the toy they want. Teenagers will pout, whine, or complain when they are not allowed to do what they want. Their emotions are all
According to Merriam-Webster, defiant is defined as “refusing to obey something or someone”. Schools are have great problems with children refusing to follow directions, which leads to a list of other problems. One of the most important concerns of defiant behavior, especially in preschool is safety. It could be as simple as a teacher giving student(s) directions during a bomb threat, and the student(s) refuse to follow directions causes someone to get hurt or injured. Children’s behavioral problems usually starts when the child becomes a toddler. In the toddler stage, children observe and learn from their peers and parents. According to Albert Bandura, Social Learning Theory behavior is learned. The Cognitive Process takes place in the social
I interviewed a high school teacher, who is the age of 52. Her job requires her to be a role model, responsible, organized, and intelligent. Students often misbehave and give her a hard time because she is so old. For example, the students would say inappropriate things and assume she will not hear them, due to her age. The student believes because she is old she cannot hear as well as younger teachers. The children’s behavior is one of the main challenges she has to face on a daily
Every child who plays on a field will always do what it takes to impress those in the stands, especially their own parents, yet this can sometimes be taken for granted. In general, a sport will most likely consist of that one parent who is never discreet about his/her opinion or consensus about their child’s technique and performance on the field. They will always push and demand a need for better, and sometimes this cannot, or will not be done by the child willingly or just because they are unable to carry out the said task. This can result in an abundance of mistakes that can leave a permanent mark on both the child and adult. It is because of these doings, that make an urgent message, which needs to be understood by

The family is having difficulties with the two youngest siblings acting out because they feel as if their parents did not want them. Zack is having trouble deciding if he should attend college or not. The reason why this is an issue because Zack feels if he goes to school he will not be able to take care of his sisters and spend time with them like he used to. Also, if he goes to school he would not be bringing in money like he uses to in order to care for his family. Grandmother Mary wants Zack to go to school so he can make more money in the long-term. She feels as if it is not Zack responsibility to take care of them.
Child behavior has gotten worse over the years. These kids don't get any type of discipline now and days. Kids now and days don’t have any respect for anyone. Kids think it's ok to be rebellious against adults who are trying to help them out in situations.
A child this age should is getting more into adolescence. At this time peer and friendships start to become very important. They are becoming more independent which comes with solving problems and taking risks. They also should be able to laugh at themselves which is a huge life lesson in my opinion! This child was definitely a problem solver. As he was playing with the other children, they were building a castle out of big blocks. The younger child was getting frustrated because they weren’t even. Then the child I was observing shows the younger child how to fix it. I read that children this age can get discouraged quite easy. I saw that while I was watching him interact with his mother. His mom was helping him with his homework and he was having a hard time doing spelling words. His mom did have a lot of patients with him in the first place which probably didn’t help the situation, but he got really discouraged fairly fast. He made it pretty clear that he was discouraged by crying and getting really upset, This was because he was getting discouraged about not being able to comprehend his homework, along with his mother’s stressful
The Child Behavior Checklist was administered to Ms. Monroe, the client’s grandmother, in order to obtain her perception of Kha’liya’s competencies and problem area. On the CBCL Problem Scales, Kha’liya’s Internalizing scores fell within the borderline clinical range, indicting may be at risk for being anxious/depressed, withdrawn/depressed along with somatic complaints. Kha’liya’s Externalizing and Total Problem Scores were all in the clinical range, indicating potentially clinically significant issues with rule-breaking and aggressive behaviors.

Toddlers and teenagers can be so moody and emotional. The reason for this is because toddlers are still growing, and so is their brain. They can’t express how they feel therefore they react in the only way they know how and that is through emotion. They rely on emotion to communicate. If they are tired, hungry, sick, and or possibly need to be changed they cry, or become extremely cranky. Teenagers are moody and emotional because they are going through so much change. Their hormones are going crazy and they are also in school with a lot of other kids and they tend to act like the people they are around. They are moody sometimes for no reason.
Some kids might have really bad anger issues and don’t know how to handle it without letting all the anger out on other people. Kids sometimes might go overboard and might not know what they are doing,like not being able to handle their anger. Sometimes kids don’t get enough attention from family or parents. Kids being as bullies,might me sad or lonely and don’t know what do except for maybe be mad and don’t know how to express it without being mad or sad.

With child behavior issues on the rise, there is much research being done to seek out solutions. It is clear that when these issues arise in classrooms, it will affect learning outcomes of students. This isn’t just a concern for children with behavior disorders, but for all children in school, if a child is often off task and irritable they are not learning at their full capacity. Some children have the option of taking medication to allow them to focus properly during school, which is proven to be effective, but there is new research moving forward to determine the effects food can have on classroom behavior. Food fuels every individual’s body, allowing for daily physical activities to be completed, but it also fuels our mind. It is thought that if healthy foods can lead to improved behavior, than poor food can lead to poor behavior. With most students consuming their breakfast and their lunch meals in school, it is essential that they are being fed nutritious, beneficial foods. The question to be answered throughout this paper is; does low quality food consumed in school, affect students behaviors?
