Many students come to school carrying emotional burdens from home ,poverty, family conflict, neglect, or abuse. These challenging environments often lead to frustration, withdrawal, aggression, or lack of focus in class.
Unfortunately, such students are sometimes labeled as “problematic” rather than being understood or supported. This can result in unintentional discrimination from peers or even teachers.
As educators, how can we support students facing hardships at home and ensure they don’t feel excluded or judged in the school environment? Ki
Let’s discuss:
Signs that a student may be struggling emotionally due to home issues.
Strategies you use to provide emotional support or safe spaces.
How we can train ourselves and others to respond with empathy rather than discipline.
Ways to involve parents or the community in supporting such children.
Together, we can build a more compassionate and inclusive learning environment.
Looking forward to hearing your views and experiences.
