  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!)
This student needs to have intervention immediately and maybe the admin needs to get involved. Physical outbursts that result in hitting another student is not okay. You need to address the student and let the school admin know what is going on and the parents need to be informed and called down to the school for a meeting.

Comments: I do not think that this needs to be addressed in a negative light but rather as a redirection of behaviors and focus on tasks. The counselor or behavior management specialist would need to be contacted and the situation addressed with them.

Comments: I don't think a disciplinary meeting will teach the student the necessary life skills they need for impulse control.
