Case: Emotional Breakdowns
I have a second grade student who has had many behavior problems in the past. He was recently put on medication that has helped tremendously.Unfortunately, he is now very emotional. At some point each day he becomes very sad. He weeps uncontrollably and says he misses his dad (who is no longer in the picture). The episodes can last over an hour and he is missing a lot. How should I approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Find a way to get their mind off of it. I have a very emotional student who gets angry quickly and will throw screaming temper tantrums. If I see it coming on, I remove the student from the situation and ask him to be my helper or we start working on another activity. You can also talk with him and let him get some of it off his chest. If you can't, you could also recommend that the counselor talk with him, since they're trained to handle those kinds of situations. |

Comments: I think this is a great solution that I would use in my classroom in the future. Distracting the student with other things is a good helper and also talking to his counselor about his personal issues would help as well. |

Comments: I like this suggestion because it involves being very attentive to the child and nice attention they're craving. The counselor is a smart idea too because he is obviously struggling. |
