  Case: Student with recently divorced parents
How can I help one of my 4th grade students whose performance seems to be affected by his parents' recent divorce?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to keep the classroom as normal as possible for the student so he can feel less anxious about his parent's divorce. It is important for the teacher to be understanding and patient with the child. If the student still seems to be still affected, then I would contact the parents to let them know that the child is affected by the situation and might need to see the school counselor to help. It is important for the teacher to keep all lines of communication open for the parents and the child and to do what is best for the child to succeed in the classroom.

Comments: I would definitely do this! Keeping some normalcy at school would be grounding for the student in my opinion and letting the child know there are multiple adults there to talk and help is great.
