  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!)
I too lost my father at a young age and it is something that is very traumatic situation. I do not think the student is behaving intentionally, but as you said the behaviors cannot continue. I would show the student a great deal of patience also I would suggest they see the school counselor if possible. They would be great at assisting the student during this difficult time.
