  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!)
I would give him specific positive praise when he exhibits behavior that you want within the classroom. I would ignore his outbursts if they are not too disruptive, but I would also pull him aside after class and explain that this is not what is expected.
