Difficulties With Children With Sebd
Children with lower levels of social, emotional and behavioural problems can struggle at school as they may find it difficult to focus on tasks. A teacher or teaching assistant may have to give the child extra support and extra reminders to stay on task. This extra attention could cause difficulties in class as the other children will notice the extra attention and may feel jealous of the other child and envy them. Or it could be that the child gets frustrated with the reminders and extra attention and this could lead to them becoming anxious and defensive.
Children with SEBD may find it hard to form social relationships with their peers. This can cause disruptions in the classroom as something that happened on the playground during break could
really upset the child and they could bring this back in to the classroom and cause friction.
Unpredictable emotions, mood swings, attitudes to learning and school life etc are commonly seen in children with SEBD. Children may have tantrums, cause disruptions and become uncooperative during lesson time which make it difficult for the teacher and the other pupils. On the other end of the scale, children may become withdrawn and seem to shut down and not want to communicate with anyone. Children with SEBD may have low attendance levels as their carer is unable to get them school at times or they are too emotionally unstable to attend school.
If a child has a higher level of SEBD they are likely to show low level of progression, even if they have extra support, and this could be due to higher levels of distractions and unable to concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. Children with higher levels of SEBD will struggle even more with making friendships as they make have aggressive outbursts that could endanger or frighten other children leading to them not wanting to play with them. Extremely unpredictable behaviour can cause major disruptions in class. It can create an unstable, uncomfortable environment that can put extra stresses on the teacher and also on the children. A child with high levels of SEBD may become aware that they are struggling and will become extremely frustrated. This can lead to more outbursts as they feel they are out of their depth and more absence form school as they feel they don't conform with everyone else and fit in
