Misbehaving Classmates by Marilyn Rosario

Studies found on the website apa.org showed, that children who misbehave in the classroom could be misbehaving because their brain isn’t fully developed and they can not make the connections required to behave. This theme is similar to that of everyone doesn’t grow at the same pace or hit puberty at the same time. To me it does sound crazy to make that connection but researchers found children use the misbehavior to avoid and ignore the lesson the teacher is giving. Some children lack certain characteristics but they do have other good qualities. For example, “a young child with highly advanced verbal skills may develop gross and fine motor control more slowly and have trouble learning to write clearly.”
