David, please, stop yelling at Christine!
I’d like to share something I observed during our English class to get your take on it. Recently, I’ve noticed that in class David gets angry and starts screaming if something does not go the way he wanted. He screams, can start a fight with his classmates or kick things.
Good morning Mr. Martinez ! Do you have a few minutes to talk now?
Yes, I’ve noticed that too when he was playing with his younger brother.
Sure!

I’ve been trying some strategies to provide extra support. They include: showing empathy and understanding, asking him to spend some time in cool down space in the classroom and acknowledges his positive behavior.

David is a very creative and very sensitive student. He is in grade 2. The teacher started noticing that he acts out ,doesn't want to work in pairs or groups. He can get violent. He can destroy other students' work.Sometimes, David refuses to do the tasks if he doesn't like the suggestion on his work or any type of corrections.

During the conversation with David's father the teacher found out that David started acting like this once his younger brother turned 2,5.He doesn't want to share toys with him and constantly gets jealous when the parents are near his brother.
You did so well today on controlling your emotions! Now, I want you to try a new breathing technique!

David is grade 2 studentHe suffers from ODD.He can start screaming, crying or fighting if something doesn't go the way he expected. He can destroy other students' worksThe plan for improving his behavior :Parents comfort him at home and help him to recognize his emotions. Show love and appreciation, talk to him and explain that some types of behavior can hurt others.Teacher: helps him to calm down, praise for positive behavior, role playing and includes SEL classes for the whole grade so David doesn't feel that the teacher targets only him.
Acknowledge positive behaviorTalk after the tantrum to identify the triggersHelp to recognize emotionsShow love and care more than usual
SEL class for all the students on how to maintain behavior, role plays, be empathetic teacher, don't react defensively ,create a calming down space, teach techniques that will help students to calm down (breathing, counting)Be cautious once entering student's personal space
