Introduction

Children with Psychological disturbances need a little extra attention and structure in and outside
of the classroom. The two classroom management strategies that we previously discussed provide
structure and discipline for these students to follow, but also a sense of belonging in the class. Even
though these two models do overlap it is best that a teacher stays with the best model that fits the
certain individual. Group guidance helps the student feel more in control and good about themselves.
The consequences model provides more positive reinforcement and learning to take responsibility
for their actions. There were ten components that laid out a system in which teachers need to look
at for their benefit on having an emotionally disturbed child in their classroom. Consistency is the
most important concept that needs to be followed so the children know what to expect, then they
are more apt to succeed in the classroom. Every student in unique and it is up to the teacher to try
and reach out to those who posses more delicate assistance. We, as teachers, need to understand,
listen, and watch for signs. Children usually can’t express verbally what is going on that is why it
is important for each and every teacher to care about his/her students and see those signs before it
becomes out of hand.

22.1 Psychological Disturbance

Psychological disturbance is a state of mind in which the patient (student) suffers from one or more
types of disorders. Sometimes it is less or more. If it is at the critical level of mind then it destroys
all mental activities of the student and affects his or her social life. So it is very important to
diagnose these psychological disturbances with the help of psychotherapy.
