The emotional basis of learning.

It has been a well known fact that children that are neglected in some way through childhood will more than likely experience some sort of difficulty later in life. This fact is one of the reasons I have wanted to go into teaching, and have had an interest in psychology. I feel that a teacher has the potential to have a tremendous effect on a child's life. Sometimes, just having one person show care and appreciation towards you can affect your self esteem, and your level of learning ability. If a child feels safe and cared for, they are going to be in a better position to learn and grow.
