I have known this child for about a year now and I have become accustomed to his habits, but suddenly he has become very frustrated with classroom activities. He becomes frustrated when he cannot get a specific place in line, and he becomes frustrated when he does not win in every activity. I'm not entirely certain what to do, as the normal punishments we have set up for him have stopped working. We would normally have him sit down for a short time, but now he refuses to stay in place in the chair, sits improperly, and tries to move whenever I am not looking at him. I feel like I have suddenly lost control with this child and I am wondering what happened/how I can get it back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would first sit down with the child and go over the classroom procedures and rules. Explain that his behavior is not acceptable. I would then consider setting up a reward system for good behavior, as well as come up with new punishments for when his behavior continues to be troublesome. I would definitely consider getting the parents involved as well.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I thin its a great idea to give the student the chance to explain the purpose of his change in behavior. And getting the parents involved to help find a solution could prove beneficial as well.
