  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!)
Sometimes just acknowledging the situation and not over reacting to the situation will change the students behavior. Let the student have their tantrum and when they are done let them know that you cant help them when they are acting out like that. We have to learn to use our words. If he poses a threat to other students, put him in area where he is isolated. It is possible, that the student behaves this way at home and the parents allow it or give in to this behavior but we have to teach them this is not the way to handle problems. Instruct other students to ignore the behavior.
