  Case: Crying in the classroom
In a kindergarten classroom, one boy cries very often. He cries upon arrival and transitioning through the morning. He does not cry during centers, but when it is time to do CVC words at the carpet or table work he cries. I feel it is a means of escape or attention but the co-teacher will baby him into compliance. What could be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It seems like the student is crying for attention because he knows that the co-teacher is going to "baby" him. This is giving the student attention just like he wanted. Considering the crying only happens at certain parts of the day. I would try to contact the parent and possibly bring them in for a conference to discuss this issue.

Comments: Giving in to the student gives them the attention they want, which can make the crying behavior more likely to happen. Contacting the parent is a good idea because it can help the teacher get a better understanding of the student and what they can do to help or prevent the crying.
