Case: Struggling with Impulsivity
One of my students struggles with impulse control. She speaks her mind without a filter, she has trouble with physical control and her voice level. At times, when she loses control she ends up hurting a friend's feelings or accidently hits them. When I talk to her about what happened she doesn't have any reasons for why it happened and she cries if her friend is mad at her. She attempts control for a little while after, but then resorts to her old ways. Any ideas on how to help her?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
How well do you know the child outside of the classroom? Have you spoken to her family? There may be something underlying the behavior that needs to be addressed. She needs to understand that hitting is wrong and won't be tolerated. Is she able to understand why her friend is mad at her? Maybe if she could see how she feels when her friend is mad and relate it to how she made the friend feel, she could understand. |

Comments: While I think it is smart to involve the parents or see how things are going at home, I do not think a good solution would be to rationalize the hitting of the student. There may be an underlying cause that goes beyond the reasons she hit the student or why the student is mad at her. I think that makes the issue a little more trivial. |

Comments: While this is a very kind approach, it does not equate to the gravity of the situation. Given that many kids are affected, the teacher needs to get admin and parents involved. |

Comments: I feel as if the situation should be handled inside the classroom first before parent contact is initiated. The teacher should yes try to understand the child and speak with them but should also respect boundaries of the child and their family. |
