Abstract

This study aimed to identify common behavioral red flags among young children in private early childhood schools in Camarines Norte and to propose appropriate interventions. Using a descriptive-comparative design with 52 respondents (teachers, administrators, and parents), it found that behaviors such as lack of empathy, teasing, and refusal to share were frequently observed. Environmental and social factors like high family conflict, lack of parental involvement, poor classroom management, and parental separation were identified as key contributors. While no significant differences were found in stakeholder perceptions, their focus varied depending on their roles. Common interventions included positive reinforcement and classroom behavior plans, while individualized support and expert collaboration were less utilized. Teachers highlighted challenges such as limited training and awareness of behavioral policies. In response, the researcher developed a Behavior Policy Handbook for Teachers and Parents to guide school stakeholders, The study recommends implementing social-emotional learning programs, regular teacher training, increased family engagement, and enhanced use of individualized interventions to improve behavioral outcomes in early childhood settings.
