Question

According to the textbook, What is any behavior that interferes with children’s learning, development, and success at play; is harmful to the child, or adults; or put the a child at high-risk for later social problems or school failure?

Answer 1

Challenging behavior is the correct answer.

Challenging behavior is defined as any behavior that interferes with children's learning, development and successful play. This type of behavior affects not only the kid who is presenting this behavior but the other kids and adults around him/her. Unfortunately, if this behavior is not dealt with, it will put the child at high-risk, school and social failures later on since it limits the kid's ability to learn and grow.
