  Case: Needs Attention
I have a third grade student who seems to need extra attention. The problem is, when I give him this attention he opines for more. He will disturb the students around him even when I separate him from the rest of the class. When I put him in the hall, he will disturb any student that can see him. He picks fights with anyone he can. If you ignore him, he fights for your attention. When you give him attention, he pushes for more. When you praise him for good work, he is good for five minutes. Then, he wants more praise. He is my nemeses. What do I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is important to track his behavior and find what works for the student. Look for patterns and see what his currency may be to help him focus on learning instead of on getting attention. Talk to his parents and see if he is the same at home. What do the parents do that works if it is something he does at home? Is he having trouble transitioning from home to school? Establish a behavior management plan and use positive praise. Make sure he knows he is welcome and cared about in the classroom. It will get better!

Comments: I agree with this solution especially since the teacher is aware that the home life is not great and he lacks the required attention at home. Its important to supplement that at school and foster an environment that meets the students level of attention before any actual learning can take place.
