  Case: Student with recently divorced parents
How can I help one of my 4th grade students whose performance seems to be affected by his parents' recent divorce?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would keep lines of communication open with both parents so no one feels like I am excluding them from their child's education. I also will maintain my classroom procedures so the child can have a safety net during this time in his life. If the student needed a moment I would give them as much time as needed. I would let the guidance counselor know the situation so they can handle other conferences with the student appropriately.

Comments: Keeping communication open allows for problems to be solved. Students may need a break for a moment or they may need to talk to the counselor. This helps the student express him or herself.

Comments: This is a great solution to the problem. I think the student would enjoy having someone to talk to and providing stability in the classroom, would give the student a sense of security in the mist of chaos.

Comments: All of your answer's points are great. To report the situation to the guidance counselor is huge. IF the student needs more time, you can give them that, in addition to sending them to the counselor, if necessary. Keeping parents involved would be good as well so it shows the kid that the parents are still invested in him even though they are divorced.
