Internal Factors That Affects Child Behavior



Some of the elements that could impact a child’s ability to interact appropriately in an educational setting include long-term influences such as a child’s cognitive functioning, and their developmental profile. Other aspects of life that could affect the child’s behavior may be short-term such as moving to a new home, loosing a family pet, and/or a minor illness that could cause temporary discomfort.
Both teachers and parents look for quick and easy answers to questions regarding children's inappropriate behavior. We believe that the blame the victim syndrome places too great an emphasis on how to "fix" children; instead, we need greater emphasis on improving the quality of children's environments.

Internal factors 
that might have a neurological base. Some factors can be controlled, reducing the tension for the child. Others are difficult or impossible to control. A child might need to be taught and re-taught to cope with the factors that are outside of her control.
