Adolescence is considered as a significant period in human development. It is an age of transition in which an individual develops from childhood to adulthood. Development happens in all aspects such as physical, physiological, social and emotional. All developmental task of adolescence are focused on overcoming childish attitudes and behaviour patterns and preparing for adulthood. As growth proceeds the adolescents may face problems in attaining the development. The problems may occur in different levels such as physical, psychological, social and behavioural. The present study focuses on the Social and Emotional Maturity of children with behavioural problems. The parents, educators, government and public might not realize that the discipline or behavioural problem is a type of mental health difficulties and its root cause is the lacking of social-emotional competencies, and therefore without this awareness, they continue to encourage for the punish-based disciplinary practices. As adolescents grow older their parents refuse to modify their concepts of their children’s abilities which results in conflict between them. In the present paper the researcher found the gaps in the supportive disciplinary practices which encourage children to develop self-control, confidence and respect for others in the current educational process and also finally through what measures the behavioural problems can be corrected in the grass root level.
