how may stress affect a child's performance at school?

Answer 1

Children who experience a lot of stress at home can have it present itself at school in many different ways. Their grades may drop and they may have trouble concentrating in class. They may start acting out in class and in the playground, which could even mean bullying other children. They may even become very introverted and resist interaction with others. Stress can have strong repercussions especially if it is a constant thing in the childs life.

Answer 2

the same way it effects adults. Think about how you feel when you are under stress. Everyone deals with it differently and the list of things that a child could experience is long: emotional, fearful, physical ailments, not sleeping, sleeping too much, withdraws from others, it depends on the child.
Stress is very prevelant in our children today. Google coping mechanisms for children experiencing stress and teach the child or you how to deal with the stress.

Answer 3

As a former teacher, I can tell you that stress affects children at school in different ways.

Some children just retreat into their shell and become hard to motivate and hard to reach.

Some children become angry and lash out at their teachers and fellow students.

Some get in trouble for goofing off because that is how they deal with stress - becoming the class clown.

I hope you are able to help your child work through their stress.

Answer 4

It can affect the child at school because the child want be able to concentrate on what they are supose to be doing and if they are having bad things going on at home then all they will think about is what is going to happen next.

Answer 5

Wow... loaded question...right that's a partial checklist (i'm particular i'm going to omit some): Low interest, and greater desirable break day-job, ensuing in low productiveness. interest searching for behaviour - of the two the helpful or detrimental style. Fights and squabbles with acquaintances and classmates. Irritability. Crying. melancholy. Suicidal dispositions or ideas. Anger, self or different directed. inflexible administration over their behaviour and greater desirable dispositions in direction of reaching perfection. Self mutilation and eating themes. those are all behaviours I even have seen data of in a lecture room atmosphere. infants have plenty to handle. tension impacts them profoundly, and their tension many times is going unacknowledged via the important human beings of their lives.

Answer 6

i suppose it depends on the source of and nature of the stress. most likely the child's performance will be affected adversely.

Answer 7

If things are hard here at home in the morning, my daughter tends to carry the stress to school with her. It makes her days harder, her emotional, and everyone upset. So we try to keep things calm.

Answer 8

Stress isn't good for children, and if their mind is on the issue, concentrating is harder for them. You should address the issue with counseling or friends... Mom of 4
