  Case: Child's mom got married, now the child throws temper tantrums multiple times a day
Three weeks ago, one of my student's mother got remarried. As I later learned, up until she got married the child slept in her room since he was a baby (he is almost 5 now). Since she got remarried, he is defiant and refuses to do what anybody asks him if he is upset. He will scream and throw temper tantrums to get attention. I have put him on a behavior chart to let his mom know each day when the issues happen and what the issue is. Mom does not seem to have any suggestions and does not return my phone calls or emails. He has been sent to the office multiple times in the last 3 weeks, but none of the punishments or incentives seem to motivate him anymore. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would recommend talking with the student and referring the student to the school counselor. It is important to let the child know he/she has support at school. It seems the child is acting out in order to receive attention.

Comments: I agree and would do the same if I were in this situation. Allowing the student to see the school counselor might be able to assist him with his frustrations and feelings towards the changes that have occurred at home.
