ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on difficulties experienced by children and young people who demonstrate features of social, emotional, and mental health difficulties and the kinds of behaviour commonly associated with such difficulties. 'Solution-focused brief therapy' that focuses on solutions rather than problems is an example of a cognitive-behavioural approach. Ten principles for controlling and modifying students' behaviour in schools are summarised from Berryman and Glynn. One psychological theory of human development that has had considerable influence over educational provision for young children such as Jack whose behaviour is of concern to teachers is that of attachment theory. Children need to be allowed to attend the funeral as part of the grieving process, but should be protected from the raw grief that may be expressed. In the mid-1990s, the Department for Children, Schools and Families in England commissioned curriculum materials to be used as part of schools' personal, social, and health education programmes.
