This study explores the role of schools in mitigating behavioral issues in children, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and the development of supportive educational environments. Behavioral challenges, including aggression, disobedience, and anxiety, can significantly impact a child’s academic performance and social integration. Schools are uniquely positioned to address these issues through a combination of preventive measures, social-emotional learning programs, and collaboration with parents and mental health professionals. The paper examines various strategies implemented by educational institutions to reduce behavioral problems, such as positive reinforcement, behavior modification techniques, and individualized support plans. It also discusses the impact of school climate and teacher-student relationships on student behavior. The findings suggest that schools can play a crucial role in not only managing behavioral issues but also in fostering a positive developmental trajectory for children.
