  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 would reach out to other teachers that have that student in their classroom and gather information to see if they also see impulse control with this student then I would reach out to the parent with the support of the other teachers and explain what is going on.
