  Case: Kindergarten meltdowns
In my kindergarten class I have one student who continually cries every time he is reprimanded even if he is not in trouble. This student erupts in tears and yelling when upset and distracts the entire class for their work. If he is pushed too far he will become aggressive, hitting walls and trowing small objects close to him. This behavior is a danger to the student and others in my class How should I approach this student is terms of behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try to figure out the reason for the student's crying. First determine the student is not physically hurt and then keep teaching. Create a log to find out what happens right before the crying. Is the child seeking attention? Is the students trying to avoid a subject? Once the teacher determines the antecedent he or she can then avoid the antecedent and concentrate on the students positive behavior and praise him or her when it happens.

Comments: Figuring out what happens right before a tantrum can help you as a teacher determine what may be the cause. If they get aggressive try to keep them isolated and make sure they can't do too much damage especially to themselves.
