  Case: Behavioral Issues
I have student who is an excellent student but has issues with behavior. Some days she's a perfect student does her work, has a great attitude and some days she refused to do anything. She will walk out of class, talk back and throw temper tantrums and sometimes take her head and slam it into the wall. Her mom has take her to doctors and specialist but they all seem to come up with nothing. The mom is getting frustrated and so am I. What can be done about this? Any suggestions or explanations?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have noticed many suggesting logging her behavior, and involving her mother (which is GREAT that she is involved), but I think it is equally important to involve the student as well. I would suggest having her keep a daily journal with standard questions to gauge how she is feeling in the morning when she arrives. On days she misbehaves, see if there is a correlation in how she is feeling and her behavior. Talking with her is important as well. Try to get some information out of her on a lighter level, without putting her on the spot or feeling pressured. Get some more information out of her regarding her home life. Is something bothering her on a personal level? Be a friend.
