He comes from a home where his parents are not very supportive and he is not given a lot of attention. The teacher has gotten the counselor involved, but there has not been very much progress made. It has gotten to the point where it is happening several times a week. What can this teacher do to correct this behavior since there is no support from the parents and the boy is constantly seeking attention? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Allowing the student to use the bathroom whenever needed would be a good start. Although this behavior might not be for just attention it could be a medical problem that needs to be addressed with the parents. I would monitor how many times a day he needs o use the bathroom and remind him to use the bathroom often. This will allow for you to discuss further with the counselor to really figure out how to get the parents involved.
