  Case: Child's mom got married, now the child throws temper tantrums multiple times a day
Three weeks ago, one of my student's mother got remarried. As I later learned, up until she got married the child slept in her room since he was a baby (he is almost 5 now). Since she got remarried, he is defiant and refuses to do what anybody asks him if he is upset. He will scream and throw temper tantrums to get attention. I have put him on a behavior chart to let his mom know each day when the issues happen and what the issue is. Mom does not seem to have any suggestions and does not return my phone calls or emails. He has been sent to the office multiple times in the last 3 weeks, but none of the punishments or incentives seem to motivate him anymore. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely recommend the child spending time with the school councilor. Maybe, the child is feeling lonely or left out at home and that is why he is lashing out and behaving this way. The school councilor will know what to do best for the child.

Comments: Allowing the student to spend time with the school counselor may help them release their anger. The counselor may have different ideas on how to let the student get rid of the anger. It also helps just to vent feelings, so letting them go when they feel they need to can help them. Allow the student to raise their hand if they need to go see the counselor so you can call and see whether they're available to let the student see them.
