It is important to adopt a comprehensive approach that addresses both the emotional and cognitive dimensions of children’s development. This holistic perspective is essential for understanding student’s overall conditions and providing the necessary support to foster their emotional well-being and academic success. A positive emotional state not only energizes children but also enhances their attention, working memory, and social interactions, while improving their hope in going forward. Solely focusing on cognitive assessments, such as measuring learning abilities, IQ fails to address the multifaceted challenges children encounter daily.
Similar to adults, children, regardless of whether they have special challenges, often experience emotional difficulties on a regular basis. These issues may include self-doubt, anxiety, sadness, fear, feelings of isolation, insomnia, nightmares, and even bedwetting. For instance, some children require specific conditions to feel safe while sleeping, such as sleeping with a light on, keeping the door open, or even due to fear need to sleep with their parents at an older age.
Personality plays a vital role in shaping an individual’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is shaped by a combination of genetic, parental personality influences on children, environmental, and social factors, which collectively form the foundation for how individuals perceive and respond to external environmental stimuli. This personality framework significantly influences how both children and adults interpret environmental cues, react emotionally, and develop coping mechanisms, leading to either positive or negative emotional outcomes and behavior. Each child, like adults, responds uniquely to environmental and social interactions based on their own unique personality make up.
Understanding this complex interplay is crucial for comprehending how it affects children’s emotions, moods, and energy levels, which in turn influence their ability to focus, pay attention, memorize, and consequently learn. Given that children are often less developed in certain cognitive and emotional domains and lack the psychological mechanisms to effectively process complex stimuli, they are particularly more vulnerable to adverse emotional impacts.
Children with special challenges, such as ADHD, learning difficulties, autism, and other forms of neurodiversity, may be even more susceptible to these effects. Beyond technical assessments and diagnostic evaluations, it is essential to emphasize the assessment of a child’s emotional and psychological state. 

For example, a children with ADHD who struggle academically, get poor grades, some due to behavior difficulties or for poor academic performance lose face in classroom in front of their peers or at school, face ongoing parental criticism at home, and feel isolated socially, require a thorough evaluation of their emotional condition, personality and coping strategies and as result provide them with ongoing psychological support to reduce their emotional suffering which could translate in more academic failure. Addressing these emotional factors can significantly enhance the child’s emotional well-being and consequently their academic performance.
Therefore, incorporating a child’s heart approach—incorporating assessing personality and emotional states into the comprehensive evaluation, treatment, training, and rehabilitation of these students are crucial. This Integrated approach is vital for alleviating their suffering and achieving better therapeutic and academical outcomes.
