Jack is in second grade and is having a hard time behaving in school. Such as not paying attention and disrupting the class. Those two factors seem to play into integrated biopsychosocial. Biopsychosocial has three different elements to it: biological, psychological, and social-cultural. These three things can provide three different ways and reasons of why Jack is acting the way he is in class. An example of biological would be ADHD or ADD, which could be helped by a doctor prescribing him a medication. Psychological could have a lot to do with his acting out in class. He probably has the feeling he needs to fit in and find his group of friends. Psychological problems could be helped in many ways, but one that would really help Jack is possibly seeing a school Counselor. Last but not least, that deals with Jacks behavior is the social culture. This could also have something to do with his friends. His friends could be giving the impression they like him more or will be his friend if they act out. Once the staff and parents look into these three different elements and make changes, Jack will be on the right track again.…

A child’s social development is gained through positive interaction with adults and other children. A child who has the interested attention of an adult through their early years, who listens and encourages them, will grow to be confident and understand how conversation works and as such develop good listening skills in return. If a child lacks this adult or even other child interaction, they may then lack the confidence to speak up and interact with others; this lack of confidence then may affect how they relate to other children either in games, role play or at school. Children, who lack confidence, may have a low sense of self worth, feeling that they can’t or are unable to speak out and therefore be able to join in. Not being able to speak out or join in can have a big impact on their ability to communicate and learn.…
A child in this state could benefit and learn from the other children of the same age group if placed in the same environment with them. Many times even the most well trained teacher may not be able to get certain concepts over to the fastest learning student but another child could reason in a different way that can prove to be more understandable. It is with this in mind that many schools have implemented social promotion.…
