Case: My Child Does Not Do This At Home
There is a child in my class that is extremely smart. However, he is very sneaky and I catch him playing and being disruptive all day long. It has become a huge problem because I have to stop instruction every few minutes to redirect the behavior. When I talk to the mother she is just floored. She just does not understand how her child can be acting this way when he is so good for her at home. I do know that he is the only child. I have tried to figure out why he may be acting out and I was thinking that maybe it is because he is adjusting to being around other kids and in the "classroom" environment. Now, the mother is wanting to come in while I am teaching and observe to see how he is acting. I don't know how to tell her this but I just do not think that it will help. What are some ways I can handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think having the mom come in would defeat the purpose because chances are, the child is going to act perfectly while she is there. I would let her come observe, but I would also tell her this will be the likely outcome beforehand. I would then discuss with her that after the observation on a separate day, you are going to set up an iPad to video throughout the day. The children will not know it is rolling, and it will discreetly be placed on a back table or counter where it can cover most of the room. If nothing else, it can record conversations and redirections. This will give her a better idea of what is actually taking place each day. Then you two can sit down with the child and come up with a plan of action. |

| Comments: This is not a good solution because you must have explicit permission from all parents to record their children. It would be illegal to only get permission from this parent when other children would be in the video. |
