Case: Behavior Problem There is a lot going on here. I have a female student I will name Tammy. She is a tomboy. She is the biggest (tallest) girl in the classroom. She is a bully. Mom told us at the last meeting that the reason her daughter misbehaves is because we do not ask her why she isn't smiling when she is in a bad mood. We have since tried this approach, but it doesn't work. When Tammy slips into her bad moods (mom claims she is ODD, bipolar, and ADHD), she will not come back out. During a math lesson she told me that I was stupid and I don't know how to teach and I don't know what I am talking about. She is in RTI, LLI, and recently entered a behavior program to attempt to get the violent outbreaks under control. (On top of her verbal attacks, she has kicked at least one student every day for the past 2 weeks). What else can be done to control Tammy in the classroom? The parents are fed up with the phone calls home and will only accept calls about illness. Tammy knows this and uses it to her advantage. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As previously stated, speaking with administration is key. Also, try to get on a personal level with Tammy to see if you can figure out her triggers. What happens before each time she acts out? See if there is a pattern and try to attempt to get rid of whatever may trigger her. On a personal level, talk with Tammy about solutions and rewards for controlling her behavior. Allow her to have a "time away" area if she feels she is about to have a moment. Have her give you a sign to show she needs to exit the room for a minute and go to her "time away" spot. I hope this helps! |
