Case: My Child Does Not Do This At Home
There is a child in my class that is extremely smart. However, he is very sneaky and I catch him playing and being disruptive all day long. It has become a huge problem because I have to stop instruction every few minutes to redirect the behavior. When I talk to the mother she is just floored. She just does not understand how her child can be acting this way when he is so good for her at home. I do know that he is the only child. I have tried to figure out why he may be acting out and I was thinking that maybe it is because he is adjusting to being around other kids and in the "classroom" environment. Now, the mother is wanting to come in while I am teaching and observe to see how he is acting. I don't know how to tell her this but I just do not think that it will help. What are some ways I can handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would let her come in to observe him. Afterwards, I would set up a meeting with the parent, the student, and a guidance counselor to get to the root of the issue. It may very well be that a behavior contract or some sort of incentive program could solve the problem. |

| Comments: Allowing the mother to come in and watch her kid would disturb the class, possibly embarrass the student, and may actually change his behavior. He may act differently when mom is around, making it seem like you had no basis for his mischievous behavior. |

| Comments: The reason I disagree with this solution is that the child might alter their behavior in front of his mother. I think it would be less likely that the child will act as he had before if he were conscious of his mother sitting nearby. |
