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!)
Can you define what you mean by accidentally hitting someone? I am struggling to imagine a situation in which hitting someone would be accidental. Are there certain scenarios in which she is more likely to lose control? I would recommend tracking these occurrences to try to find out what is triggering this type of impulse control and see if you can provide alternative behaviors that would be more suited to the classroom environment.
Additionally, you say that she attempts control for a little while, but then resorts to her old ways. Are these attempts being reinforced. I would look for ways to reinforce any instances of positive impulse control as much as possible, until she is regularly engaging in self-management of her own behavior. |

| Comments: I completely agree, that more often than not students do not hit "accidentally". Tracking the occurrences of the unwanted behavior is a valuable strategy to further evaluate the student's tendencies. |

| Comments: These are great questions to ask. This student's actions might be accidentally reinforced with attention, and there could be something that happens in class that triggers her. Finding these answers would be the best course of action. |
