  Case: Student physically acting out
I have a student who consistently acts out during class. He will get physical and pick up chairs and throw them across the room. Other students are in danger when this happens and every time we try to calm him down his behavior just worsens. We have tried to talk to parents and administration has been involved. What is the next step to get this under control?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, I would get to the root of why he is acting up. Does he sleep enough at home, does he have the proper nutrients.. etc. Is he doing this to get attention? There are tons of reasons why he is acting this way. Secondly, I would have a one-to-one conversation with the student. Hear him out, be a listener. Be empathetic. There could be issues at home going on and he doesn't know how to express himself. Thirdly, I would try to make a plan with him. Have him let you know when he is feeling upset. Check in on him daily and reward for good behavior. Provide expectations and examples of good behavior vs. poor behavior. Creating boundaries and expectations along with structure is typically beneficial for troublemakers.

Comments: I agree, it is critical to first sort out the root of the problem. This behavior is likely to continue to occur unless you are able to find out what is causing it. Then from there, you can try and get the behavior under control.

Comments: This is great! Let the student know you are there for them and you want the best for them, but also making it known that they are being unsafe.

Comments: Getting to the root of the problem is smart. Students do not just act like this to upset others, they usually have something going on in their own life.
