Creative Movement Abusive Student en>fr fr>en By nygrl4587 Comments: 4, member since Sat Sep 15, 2007On Tue Oct 09, 2007 09:47 AM
I have a student who pushes, shoves, and hits! I've told her to stop, her mom has told her to stop, but it's an ongoing problem. I just don't want any of the other students to get hurt and I've never had this problem before. Help! 2 Replies to Abusive Student |

Have you tried taking that student by the hand during class? If you are holding her hand she isn't going after the other students. You are also there to give immediate consquences if she does any of those things to you. Or if you have an assistant they can take control of this one.
Other suggestions that have been repeated elsewhere are to use positive reinforcement and ignore the negative behaviour. Immediately address negative behaviours by stating "We do not do that in Creative Movement class"
Offer an alternative. "When you feel like hitting I want you to Jump instead."
Use other rewards, stickers or stamps.
I hope she learns to be nicer to her friends in class. Good luck. |

Oh, I like the substitution advise (jumping instead of hitting). Very nice! |
