  Case: Attention-Seeking Student
I have a co-worker who has a 2nd student who urinates in his pants to draw attention to himself. He comes from a home where his parents are not very supportive and he is not given a lot of attention. The teacher has gotten the counselor involved, but there has not been very much progress made. It has gotten to the point where it is happening several times a week. What can this teacher do to correct this behavior since there is no support from the parents and the boy is constantly seeking attention?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I just recently experienced this with one of my second graders as well. Not only did I begin taking frequent bathroom breaks as a class, I also put in place a system for students to leave the classroom during centers by placing the bathroom pass on their desk and quietly excusing themselves. Furthermore, I personally spoke with the student and explained that he could use the bathroom at any time if it is an emergency without permission. We also, had a conversation about being a big boy and that this behavior is not for second graders.

Comments: I agree that all of these are really good methods to eliminate the issue. Also, asking him if he needs to use the bathroom frequently will hopefully get him to go more often.
