  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!)
I think that possibly working with this student individually may help. You can explain/ work through strategies that would help her better and maybe even have that in writing form if that would help her better practice. She may have some troubles at home and her parents may not know what to do and just let it happen, which may be causing her anxiety. Nonetheless, showing her proper ways to react and what to say during scenario practice may better help her work through real life scenarios. She does have to understand that what she says and does has consequences, but I think with time working with her will show some progress.

Comments: I agree that showing her the proper ways to react to certain situations is a great idea, there may be a disconnect and she may not know how to react to these situations.

Comments: I believe the parents are not being involved enough in what is going on. They must be aware and if you are not a teacher who's qualified you should not be directly handling the situation.

Comments: I think the student having a buddy or a teacher's aid be available to them would help but a singular person would not really be available in most situations.
