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!) Try doing a parent-teacher conference in which the student is present for the discussion. Explain to the student what you expect of them and how they can redirect their frustrations when feeling angry, instead of being physical. Work with the student and parents to develop a plan that outlines goals and appropriate behavior expectations for the student while at home and in school to help correct the misbehavior. If possible, do a home visit to meet the parents and develop a better relationship/understanding of the child and their homelife. If the issue persists and the student does not meet their behavioral goals, I would consult a school psychologist to speak with the student further.
