Case: Kindergarten meltdowns In my kindergarten class I have one student who continually cries every time he is reprimanded even if he is not in trouble. This student erupts in tears and yelling when upset and distracts the entire class for their work. If he is pushed too far he will become aggressive, hitting walls and trowing small objects close to him. This behavior is a danger to the student and others in my class How should I approach this student is terms of behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Some children just shut down with negative reinforcement no matter what was done. for students like this try focusing on positive reinforcement when he is on task and behaving as expected let him know you are proud of him for doing a good job. Another reason that might trigger him is embarrassment, if you need to confront him on his behavior and it is not a distraction at the time wait until you can talk to him privately. During confrontation try not to come off as authoritative instead of telling what he shouldn't be doing and what he did wrong, remind him what he should be doing, and explain the behavior you like to see from him. for example instead of saying "Don't do that" or "I don't like it when you interupt" say "we are doing..." or "I like it when you listen". |
