  Case: Hands in Pants
Andrew has a problem with his hands during classwork and independent work. He puts his hand into his pants while doing his work. I try to pull him aside and tell him that big kids don't put their hand in their pants. He says he understands but it seems as though it is a habit that he can not break. It might be supplemented by the parents or that they don't care if he does it or not. I plan on addressing the parents with the issue but what can I do if they become uncooperative.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately, parental cooperation is so crucial with things like this. If they allow it in the home, chances he will stop doing it in school are slim to none. Maybe a guidance counselor would be able to help with this issue? They may be able to have a talk with him. You can only help so much without the parent's cooperation since you cannot control what is going on outside of school. If it is being supplemented by him parents in a negative way, authoritative action may need to take place to stop this.

Comments: I think this solution is a little aggressive and could make the student feel punished for his parents churches. It focuses on trying to change the parents' behaviors rather than helping and focusing on the student.
