  Case: Needs a Father Figure
I have a student whom is trying to impress me. One day, he feels bad behavior will impress me. The next day, he explains his favorite things. He disrupts lessons in order to go into detail about himself. How do I give him attention without taking away fro the lesson?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Give him positive attention and reinforce behavior you wish to see. For example, when he is on task and doing well, make sure to tell him you like what he is doing. This is attention he will appreciate, and he didn't need to distract to receive it. Offer activities that allow for self expression, but do not give in to his disruptive behavior.

Comments: I feel that this solution can be done by the teacher in the classroom and it would be beneficial for the teacher to focus on giving the student attention when they do a behavior that the teacher likes and wishes to see more of in th classroom. I also like the idea of offering the student to participate in activities that they can express themselves through and be creative during.

Comments: Also I feel that with doing this setting out a time during lunch if are able to sit with the student for a few moments so they can talk to you. It seams that they are really desperate for attention. Another option is finding peers that this student already interacts with and having a scheduled lunch with them once every month or two months that allows the student that one on one time with you.
