Study of association between pre-test knowledge and selected demographic variables of Primary School Teachers regarding selected emotional and behavioural disorders of children
Abstract
The early years of a child’s life are very important for his or her health and development. Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Having a safe and loving home and spending time with family―playing, singing, reading, and talking―are very important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep also can make a big difference.
Children's emotional and behavioural disorders are disorders that affect not only children’s behaviour, emotions, moods, or thoughts, but can also affect the entire family as well. The established pattern of emotional or behavioral responses might adversely affect educational or developmental performance including intrapersonal, academic, vocational or social skills.

Introduction
Children are the real wealth of the nation. They are the builders of India and tomorrow provided their mind and intellect are harnessed in proper channels, they could prove to be worthy custodian of the big heritage (Singhal P.K.,1991).
The early years of a child’s life are very important for his or her health and development. Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Having a safe and loving home and spending time with family―playing, singing, reading, and talking―are very important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep also can make a big difference.
In fact, a child's difficulty can be just the starting point for teachers worry and concern. Primary School Teachers might not know what to do to help their child or where to go for a help. Possibly, Primary School Teachers may worry because they don't even know if their child's problem is something they should be concerned about in the first place.
Childhood emotional and behavioral disorders should be assessed to help worried Primary School Teachers to better understand various ways that mental illness can affect children; what it looks like and how it can be helped.
Children's emotional and behavioural disorders are disorders that affect not only children’s behaviour, emotions, moods, or thoughts, but can also affect the entire family as well. The established pattern of emotional or behavioral responses might adversely affect educational or developmental performance including intrapersonal, academic, vocational or social skills.
Conclusion
The main aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge regarding the selected Emotional and Behavioral Disorder of children among their Primary School Teachers. 158 Primary School Teachers were selected by convenient sampling techniques. A Plan Teaching Programme was made which included all information about selected Emotional and Behavioral Disorder of children. This helped the Primary School Teachers to gain more knowledge about identifying and management of Emotional and Behavioral Disorder of children.
