No Friends
Mary was experiencing behavior and learning problems at school. She refused to do written work, she was stubborn and her teacher found her difficult to work with. Her mother was extremely worried. She also reported that her daughter was experiencing social problems and often complained that she didn’t have any friends. |

Maybe the teacher can work with the student to provide motivation for the student to do their work and redirect misbehavior. Also, the teacher could try pairing the student with another student for an assignment or project this way the student can possibly gain a new friend who might help the student make better choices. |

I agree with this solution by pairing the student with others for a project to make friends. |

Try to find people Mary might work well with and create assignments or projects that are small group. Create jobs for each person. This might help her create relationships with other students and help bring her out of her shell. |

I would suggest that the teacher attempt mild redirection before any other steps are taken. Perhaps having group work where the students are assigned groups so that she is forced into a situation where she might talk with other students.
If the mild-moderate interventions do not work, refer the student to the school counselor or psychologist to discern the root issue. Once it is found, discuss the issue with the parent and attempt to find a multilateral solution. |

Cooperate fun learning activities where the class has to work in groups or pairs to complete the assignments. As includes a lesson about every is equal and no one should be left out. |

Maybe the teacher could implement a lesson about kindness and compassion. This lesson could show all of the students how to interact with others and maybe open their eyes to making friends with others. It could include a group work lesson where all students have someone to talk to. |

It might help to expose the student to group work. This would allow her to experience some socialization in a structured environment that can lead to confidence and better behavioral actions. Group assignments allow students to interact while learning. |

I would put Mary in contact with the school guidance counselor to discover any deeper issues Mary might have. As for specific classroom management, I would implement procedures and consequences that are clearly presented to the student. |

Maybe the teacher could talk to her individually and see what is happening in the classroom. By talking to her you may be able to see what is causing her to have issues and maybe even help her to make friends! |

I would contact maybe a guidance counselor, or even a therapist suggestion. You want to see why she is experiencing these difficulties. Maybe there is something going on that she isn't sharing, or something she doesn't even know herself. I think this is a real issue for students. |

we can have a class about friendship what it takes to have friends and how can be a better friend. Maybe the school is the only place she can practice social skills with the same-age children. Use a lot of grouping activities, so the other students get comfortable when having her around.If she feels accepted things can change for good. |

There are some good solutions here. I think building a relationship with her then incorporating group work would be a good way to create a positive social experience for her. If she is able to trust the teacher, then I believe that will help alleviate some of the behavioral issues making her more comfortable to branch out socially. |

The teacher might want to consider an assignment involving groups. If Mary is paired in a group she might make friends and if the problem persists the teacher can better monitor why the student is struggling socially. |

Referring the child to the guidance counselor could prove productive, especially given they have more tools targeted to assist a child in circumstances like this. |
