  Case: parent advice
A second grade teacher has a student who has exhibited very disruptive and bad behaviors in previous grades. He has been placed in an inclusion classroom with a very strict teacher who has had success with students exhibiting these types of behaviors. The child has no behavior problems in the classroom. The parent is now confronting the teacher wanting help chaining his bad behaviors at home. What advice should the teacher give to the parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should be open to discussion with the parent. However, precaution should be considered. Naturally, the teacher will share strategies used specifically with the child. The teacher could share other strategies that have worked with other behavioral situations. I would suggest having the parent contact their pediatrician to get professional and possible medical recommendations.

Comments: I think if a parent approaches you asking for advice on helpful strategies to use at home, it is always great to give advice and tell them what you do or what you have done with other students. I also agree, though, that it might be necessary for them to talk their pediatrician if they are having a hard time gaining control over at home.

Comments: I don't think that the parent has a reason to seek medication. If the student is behaving in this classroom fine, it seems to be more related to discipline than ability.

Comments: Every student is different and I do not believe that sharing what has worked with other students will be very helpful for their child.
