  Case: Withdrawn
In Mrs. Gregory's class there is a little girl who cries about everything. She cries about getting on the computer, fire drills, going to the bus after school, going to specials, everything. In addition to this, she talks to no one, and at recess she does not even go out to the playground. She just sits on the pavement. Mrs. Gregory has asked her about this and she says she is scared. She withdraws herself from the class. What are some ways that the teacher can help this student with improving social skills and maybe getting more comfortable around her peers and in certain situations?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like this child needs professional help. This behavior is outside the realm of what to expect. If the child is not learning or socializing she is not gaining the necessary skills to be a healthy person. The school should have someone that can come observe the child and talk to the parents about the behavior. If would be helpful to know if this child behaves similar to this at home and around other people. It sounds like she has trouble with transitions which is common in young students. Having a written out plan with pictures that maybe she can move as the class is preparing to move on to a new task would be helpful.

Comments: I actually really like this idea because it is clear that this is a large issue and it should be taken care of as soon as possible. It is abnormal behavior.
