Psychological Concepts of School Children Profiling

and studies in an attempt to understand the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral
processes that people face in their daily lives.

feel supported and engaged will be more focused in class, will connect better
with their teachers and classmates, and will achieve better academic outcomes.
