The management of ineffective teachers and parents can lead to serious behavioral problems, failure to thrive in promoting positive social and communicative behaviors of the child. Families and schools that encourage social skills behaviors through consistent discipline, positive interaction and supervision of children's activities, seem to favor the social and cognitive development of their children.
