COMMON PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
A child with physical and sensory problem withdraws socially. This affects his/her cognitive and linguistic development and play pattern.
a. Mental Retardation
More than 2% of our children are considered to be mentally retarded. at the concept of intelligence.
b. Autism,
the most common of the pervasive developmental disorders
c. Hyperplasia
Is more a symptom than a disorder. It is a matter of being rather precocious in reading words.
c. Non-verbal learning disability
Is a matter of having a hard time with visual, spatial, and motor skills.
Hitting
1. Hitting is often a direct communication of frustration when a child is not getting his way. Young children often hit because they cannot speak the words to communicate their irritation.
Biting
2. Typically, this is a developmental teething issue and not behavioral. However, like hitting, it is an easy way for children who do not have verbal skills to express anger or frustration.
Taking Toys
3. Children under the age of three are still learning the basic concept of sharing. Children do not share their toys at home in an only-child situation, thereby making sharing in preschool a foreign concept to them.
Temper Tantrums
4. Tantrums are attention-gaining tools for children to get their way. Children realize quickly that teachers are more likely to give in the louder the tantrum is and the longer it lasts.
Not Following Directions
5. Following directions is very difficult for children under two years of age as their main focus is to explore and sense the world around them. However, children over two years, while still curious, should understand boundaries and rules when told to do something.

Common problems and experienced by
early childhood education children
In children from birth to the beginning of the fifth year, common problems include difficulties in feeding and sleeping, as well as clinging to the parents (separation anxiety), temper tantrums, oppositional behavior, and minor degrees of aggression.
Psychological Problems by Early Childhood Education Children
Mental Retardation
More than 2% of our children are considered to be mentally retarded. at the concept of intelligence. We define intelligence as "general cognitive ability," meaning how well a person can solve problems, how easily they learn new things, and how quickly they can see relationships among things.
Autism
Autism, the most common of the pervasive developmental disorders
Hyperplasia
Is more a symptom than a disorder. It is a matter of being rather precocious in reading words, and being fascinated by letters and numbers. On the other hand, children with hyperplasia don't communicate well, nor do they socialize well.
Non-verbal learning disability
Is a matter of having a hard time with visual, spatial, and motor skills. They have a hard time picking out, say, one house out of a row of them, tying their shoes, getting dressed, kicking a ball, reading facial expressions, and recognizing the tone of someone's voice. One of the notable symptoms is the tendency to stare, especially when visually over-stimulated.
Learning Disorders
We say a child has a learning disorder when his or her performance is significantly below his or her IQ, i.e. they are not learning "up to their potential." Learning disorders are often found accompanying other medical problems such as lead poisoning, fetal alcohol syndrome, and so on.
Reading disorder
It is better known as dyslexia - is the most common learning disorder. Here, the child's reading scores are significantly below their IQ, their expected age level, or their general abilities. These kids seem to have trouble with the usual left to right scanning of words, which leads them to reverse letters and Jumble the spelling. It could be compared to trying to read a newspaper in a language you have little familiarity with.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is really two different problems - inattentiveness and hyperactivity-- that nevertheless often go together. It has been the focus of a great deal of controversy. Opinions range from considering ADHD to be a purely physical, highly genetic, medical problem to the belief that it is nothing more than the differences between children's maturation rates.
A child who is easily upset and overreacts to provocations - this is a specific risk factor," says bullying expert Mara Brendgen,
Physically Problems by Early Childhood Education Children
Child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional mistreatment of children. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. Most child abuse occurs in a child's home, with a smaller amount occurring in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with. There are four major categories of child abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological/emotional abuse, and child sexual abuse.
Neglect
Child neglect is where the responsible adult fails to provide adequately for various needs, including physical (failure to provide adequate food, clothing, or hygiene), emotional (failure to provide nurturing or affection), educational (failure to enroll a child in school), or medical (failure to medicate the child or take him or her to the doctor).
Physical abuse
Physical abuse is physical aggression directed at a child by an adult. It can involve striking, kicking, shoving, slapping, burning, bruising, pulling ears or hair, choking or shaking a child. Shaking a child can cause shaken baby syndrome, which can lead to intracranial pressure, swelling of the brain, diffuse axonal injury, and oxygen deprivation; which leads to patterns such as failure to thrive, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, bulging or tense fontanels, altered breathing, and dilated pupils. The transmission of toxins to a child through its mother (such as with fetal alcohol syndrome) can also be considered physical abuse in some jurisdictions.
Child sexual abuse
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent abuses a child for sexual stimulation. Forms of CSA include asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities (regardless of the outcome), indecent exposure of the genitals to a child, displaying pornography to a child, actual sexual contact against a child, physical contact with the child's genitals, viewing of the child's genitalia without physical contact, or using a child to produce child pornography. The effects of child sexual abuse include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder,] anxiety, propensity to re-victimization in adulthood,] and physical injury to the child, among other problems. Sexual abuse by a family member is a form of incest, and can result in more serious and long-term psychological trauma, especially in the case of parental incest. Child sexual abuse is also strongly connected to the development of addictive behavior, complex post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.
Psychological/emotional abuse
Out of all the possible forms of abuse, emotional abuse is the hardest to define. It could include name-calling, ridicule, degradation, destruction of personal belongings, torture or destruction of a pet, excessive criticism, inappropriate or excessive demands, withholding communication, and routine labeling or humiliation. Victims of emotional abuse may react by distancing themselves from the abuser, internalizing the abusive words, or fighting back by insulting the abuser. Emotional abuse can result in abnormal or disrupted attachment disorder, a tendency for victims to blame themselves (self-blame) for the abuse, learned helplessness, and overly passive behavior.
It's easy to know when your child has a fever. A child's mental health problem may be harder to identify, but you can learn to recognize the symptoms. Pay attention to excessive anger, fear, sadness or anxiety. Sudden changes in your child's behavior can tip you off to a problem. So can behaviors like exercising too much, or hurting or destroying things.
Obesity
Obesity is defined as an excessively high amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass. Obese children may experience immediate health consequences and may be at risk for weight-related health problems in adulthood. Obesity has become a disturbing national epidemic and has grown considerably in the past two decades.
Mental Problems by Early Childhood Education Children

Mental health problems can disrupt daily life at home, at school or in the community. Without help, mental health problems can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug abuse, family discord, violence or even suicide. However, help is available. Talk to your health care provider if you have concerns about your child's behavior.
Social problems by Early Childhood Education Children
Difficulty relating to other people.
Bullying
in schools is a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general school climate and for the right of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. Bullying can also have negative lifelong consequences--both for students who bully and for their victims. Bullying is comprised of direct behaviors such as teasing, taunting, threatening, hitting, and stealing that are initiated by one or more students against a victim.
