ED- Emotional Disturbance.

Throughout my readings about Emotional disturbance I have learned a lot. I never knew all the reasons that children had ED. Apparently it has no fully been discovered why children suffer from ED but there are some conclusions.
  • Exposure to violence
  • Stress-related Poverty
  • Divorce
  • Death of a loved one
  • Discrimination
In my readings it said that some children throughout development may show signs of ED. If this behavior last longer than a short period of time then it possibly could be ED.
Some signs of ED are:
  • Odd or abnormal mood swings
  • Bizarre eating habits (anorexia)
  • Does not enjoy social interaction
  • Limited self-control
  • Depression
  • Low frustration tolerance
  • Headaches
  • Fears that are not rational
