Abstract

This study aimed to identify common behavioral problems among

primary school students in Hail. The research included a survey of

(265) boys and girls at the primary level in the Directorate of Education

of the Taif region to identify behavioral problems. This measure

covers five areas: hyperactivity, poor dispersion of attention, troubled

relations with teachers and peers, and withdrawal and reliability.

The results indicated the presence of medium behavioral problems in the

sample. The manifestations of the problems in the males are more than

those in the females, in addition to the presence of statistically significant

differences between age groups (9, 8, 7) years. The members of the study

at the age of seven years show problems in their behavior more than their

peers in age (9 and 8).The study concluded that the need for cooperation

between the parents and the school administration is necessary to monitor the

behavior of children and to identify the most important negative behavioral

manifestations and how to deal with them.
