  Case: Student Doesn't Care
I have a student in my class who doesn't seem to care about punishments or phone calls with parents. They are an issue in class; when they don't get their way, they resort to getting physical with others. I don't know how to handle them in my class. I want them to try to utilize other options, like using their words or taking a deep breath when they feel upset, but I want to know if anyone has any other suggestions.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the age, I would try what you suggested and have the student do things like breathing exercises to calm them down or tell them to remove themselves from around others when they start to feel mad. If this is in an elementary school setting and they are getting physical with their peers I would explain to them that we do not put our hands on others making sure they know that those are classroom rules that come with consequences for breaking them. I would also try to reach out to the parents and try to work on a plan together on how you both can help this student or reach out to the guidance counselor and principal if issues still occur.
