Psychological Needs of Post-War Children in Kosovo
E. Cole and R. Brown
After reading this article I believe it is correct in that that many of the mental health issues that plague these children are important to them and all children. I am not attempting to down play the horrors the children of Kosovo have received, and that they do need much help. I believe that teachers need to be aware of the signs, and be sympathetic to all students. Here at the University of Windsor we had The Bare Naked Ladies lead signer discussing these issues in our home community and at the faculty of education we barely discuss this in any of our class’s. On placement there were two students with different forms of abuse having taken place at home and these children taken from their birth homes. Their behaviour and general being mirrored many issues discussed in this article. While I am not a physiologist, it is clear these students suffered mental heath issues, with experienced teachers stating so as well. There was little being done to help these students within the class other then separating them even more when they misbehaved instead of getting to the root of the issue. I believe as future teachers we need to be aware of abuses, which they don’t only happen at the hands of solders, bombs, tanks and planes, which it can happen anywhere and get to the root of all the issues.
