Describe the needs and problems of elementary school children. What are your considerations
while organizing activities for them in school.
While childhood is meant to be a happy time, there are many children for whom it is a time of emotional difficulty. This lesson looks into some challenges that are common to elementary-aged children.
Counseling Elementary Students
Things like low self-esteem, an inability to communicate or a misconception of a healthy marriage actually started for many people when they were five, seven and nine years of age. This is why elementary school counselors have a special opportunity. They can observe and reach children at a time when many of their issues are just beginning and at a time when genuine support and guidance can end up making all the difference.
While kids often feel they are the only ones suffering with a particular situation, they are never alone. There is a vast number who are going through the same kinds of struggles and need the same kinds of intervention for a healthier future. These issues include but are not limited to parental abuse, bullying, poor social skills, rejection, learning disabilities and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Common Issues
We are now going to meet a group of elementary students who are each struggling with one of these issues. Meet Judy, Matt, Janet, Elaine, Brian and Rachel. We are going to take a look into each one of their lives.
Parental Abuse
Judy is six years old and living in a home where her father yells at her mother frequently. He gets angry easily and will occasionally hit her mother in front of Judy. Sometimes, if she tries to play with him, Judy's father will tell her that she is annoying and push her away.
Judy is suffering from parental abuse. Parental abuse occurs when parents deliberately inflict harm on their children. There are two types of abuse that Judy's father uses: physical abuse, or the use of physical violence, and emotional or mental abuse, where he inflicts emotional pain through attacking her with words and when he hurts her mother in front of her.
Her mother is also depressed, spending a lot of time sleeping in her bedroom and is unavailable for her daughter. As a result, Judy is also experiencing another type of abuse called neglect, or the absence of parental care. Judy needs help to voice her feelings and learn ways to feel better.
