Case Study: Emotional and Behavioural Challenges in a South African School Context Thabo is a 13-year-old Grade 7 learner at a public school in Soweto, Johannesburg. Over the past few months, teachers have noticed a decline in his academic performance and frequent emotional outbursts in the classroom. Thabo often displays signs of frustration, has difficulty regulating his emotions, and has become increasingly withdrawn from his peers. His teachers report instances where he lashes out verbally at classmates and refuses to participate in group activities. Thabo’s behaviour escalated after his family experienced a major financial crisis, leading to instability in his home environment. His mother, who was the primary breadwinner, lost her job, and the family had to relocate to a smaller residence in an informal settlement. This transition has disrupted Thabo’s routine, making him anxious and defensive. Teachers have tried to implement traditional discipline strategies, but these have not been effective. Some educators suspect that Thabo might be dealing with psychological distress due to his home circumstances and a lack of coping mechanisms. The school LO Educator has suggested an approach integrating Emotional Intelligence (EI) principles and Behavioural Interventions to support Thabo’s emotional well-being and classroom engagement.
