• Early identification and intervention for emotional and behavioral disorders in young children provided social and emotional support. Next, it allowed students to mimic behaviors that displayed development skills and then encouraged them to reenact these actions on a daily basis. Students can learn appropriate modes of behavior or they can respond to personal needs through interactions with other students, thereby creating an environment in which they imitate behaviors that are acceptable to their peers (Coleetal. ,2004; Lehtonenetal.,2012). • Early Childhood development has been continuously examined by evaluating the school support in kindergarten, the students unique and combined association that increase into a form of aggression, social withdrawal and cognition delays during the children’s early childhood…
