EQ: How does the child's psychological development affect their ability to learn and interact in school?

While I was researching, I interview my mentor and asked her some questions relating to the psychological development of children, in particularly her second grade class. When I asked if certain children with harder situations at home, struggle developing psychologically and do they require more assistance, She answered…
“Some of these students do suffer from anxiety, insecurity, and/or may act out for attention. These students usually need more reassurance and help building his/her self-confidence. I try to always build friendships, trust, and respect in my classroom to help students always feel safe in my classroom.”

In this case, It may not be the fact that the students basic needs aren’t being met, it’s the fact that they don’t have a sense of belonging at home, so they are looking for that recognition and attention in the classroom.
