Case: Emotional Breakdowns
I have a second grade student who has had many behavior problems in the past. He was recently put on medication that has helped tremendously.Unfortunately, he is now very emotional. At some point each day he becomes very sad. He weeps uncontrollably and says he misses his dad (who is no longer in the picture). The episodes can last over an hour and he is missing a lot. How should I approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Students can misbehave to avoid people or difficult work. Determine if the student is crying to get out of work. Does he think the subject is difficult and trying to avoid it. When he starts crying make sure he is not hurt and then resume teaching. Do not instigate the crying by consoling him too much. Once the student sees that you are continuing with your lesson and not paying hem attention he may stop crying. If no, call the office so they can contact the parents. |

Comments: I don't think this is the best solution when a student isn't crying you shouldn't try to figure out if it's because hes trying to get out of classroom. This student obviously has some issues and problems in his outside life that are brought into his school life. |

Comments: I don't think it's right to assume the child is faking his emotions. Crying also can't be "instigated" by comforting or consoling a hurt child |

Comments: I don't think invalidating the child's feelings and assuming they are doing it to get out of work is fair to them. They are obviously hurting and need to be treated better than this. |
