Case: Death of a Student's Parent
A student of mine just lost their father suddenly. They are typically very well-behaved and eager to learn. Since the passing, this student has had many outburst and is defiant. I feel bad punishing this student because I don't want to cause them any more distress. I can't continue to have this student misbehave, but I also don't want to hurt their feelings. This is a new situation for me and any help would be appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a very tragic case. Unfortunately you don't want to be too hard on the child, but you also need to show that you are still the adult and the child must still respect what you say. It is important that as the teacher to explain to the child that their behavior is not acceptable, and that if it continues there will be consequences. |

Comments: I feel like this would just make the problem worse. The student is acting out because they have to deal with strong emotions they may not understand. Telling them there will be consequences if they continue to act out does nothing to help them work out how they're feeling. |

Comments: This would be counterproductive because the child will become even more distressed and possibly act out even more than before. The student does not need that right now. |
