Case: All they need is love A student who is diagnosed as ADHD continually disrupts class. This student throws things and throws tantrums. After this child makes a scene they run up to the teachers and professes how much they love the teacher. How should the teacher address this problem which happens on a consistent basis? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) First thing the teacher needs to do is see if the child is on any type of treatment plan for their ADHD. Are they taking their meds? Is there a plan in place to deal with the child's behavior? I would suggest a cool down period and separate them from the class to stop the interruption. The child also has to be made aware of their behavior and know that despite their condition, they have some control over their behavior and that there are consequences for such outbursts. I believe that is the reason they run up to the teacher. I believe they may be feeling guilt or trying to get out of trouble. I don't believe this teacher has laid down the law or come up with an effective way to combat the class time interruptions. The teacher needs to do both to gain control of her class and her student. A phone call home to the parents to gain insight on what the do at home wouldn't hurt either. They should be made aware of the disruptive behavior. |
