Every day, the number of children born with disabilities is increasing. One of the many disabilities is Down's syndrome, which occurs on average in one of 650 infants. For a child born with this disability, it is much more difficult to normally grow, develop and function in everyday life. In the past, children born with Down syndrome were neglected, and their education was not paid almost any attention. Today, there are significant changes in social awareness related to rights and needs of children with Down syndrome. Early intervention programs that are being developed in order to mitigate problems of children with disabilities are becoming much better, and the number of therapeutic methods is increasing. There are a number of institutions and organizations which provide assistance and support to the parents of children with Down syndrome. To encourage their overall development and enable easier and more efficient functioning in society, children with Down syndrome are being integrated into pre-school and school facilities. The aim of this work is to further sensitize the public to problems and needs of this very vulnerable population of children and show examples of successful integration of children with Down syndrome in kindergarten and elementary schools.
With each passing day there are more and more children who show different, often unacceptable behaviours in their families, in public places in kindergartens or schools. There are many reasons why children begin to adopt patterns of risky behavior. One of them is the inability to meet the child's needs (from family, immediate and wider community) in a suitable manner. The need of early detection of risk factors from the immediate environment of the child which may be the causes of risky behaviour are becoming increasingly important, especially because children at who are noticed early risky behavior are at risk, which would later be identified as social incompetence. Risky behaviors are signs of exposure to the risk of a child or call for help. In order to prevent occurrence of children's risky behaviors, it is necessary to act preventively. Pedagogical prevention should be well designed and implemented in the educational process. This paper will attempt to define the risk behaviors of children, will display some of the risk factors that encourage risky behavior and emphasize the importance of quality educational prevention.
