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!) A suggestion I have is to recognize the antecedent and incorporate the 3-2-1 strategy. This technique gets the individual to focus on sight, sound, and feel. First, ask the student to name three things they hear, see, and feel. Then repeat with two, and they can not be the same as the others they mention. Then repeat with one. By the end of the exercise/ technique, the student will be calm. This may be a struggle to get the student to do at first, so you may need to model for the student. Also, slowly approach the student in a non-threatening way when modeling if the student is resistant.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is excellent as it encourages the child to calm down using an actual anger management technique that is generally pretty effective. I also agree modeling is important Rated On: November 14, 2022 2:27 am Rated By: reNyry
