All children have challenging behaviors at one time or another. There are many factors that may contribute to these behaviors, such as students’ lack of interest, lack of motivation, attention seeking, classroom environment, teachers’ attitude. However, some misbehaviors can be extreme and are often met with negative reactions from those around the child; The child might be labeled, ostracized, often disciplined and at times suspended or even expelled for repetitive disruptive behaviors. We know behavior is a form of communication, and this presentation will focus on what is the meaning behind those extreme misbehaviors. We will explore how trauma (such as poverty, domestic violence, child abuse, mental illness, immigration) affects child socio-emotional and developmental areas leading to severe negative behaviors and sensory reactions. Our intent is to empower teachers not only to look at misbehaviors through different lenses by understanding the roots, but also apply strategies that would help provide an inclusive environment that would support the child who is struggling in the classroom feel safe and accepted.
