He was at the principal 's office for that. Mom and dad got called to the school again. They have had several occasions where they had been called. Reportedly at home, he is also quick to anger. He is quick to react. He seems stubborn and mom feels he is not making positive decisions. He often, more so than his other siblings, will be the one to hit one of his other siblings. He otherwise has never attempted to harm another student or an animal to mom 's knowledge though as mentioned, he does have these sometimes physical arguments with his siblings. She says that for the most part, his attitude just not as she would like to be comparative to their other children. They tried multiple ways to help him with his behaviors. They have attempted both positive and negative types of reinforcement following these types of behaviors, but there still is no change. She looked into some counselors, but would like my recommendation from the list, if I know
Based on the information provided in case 8, Crashing Planes and Tranquil Dreams, Richard is a 4 years old boy, who is experiencing challenging behaviors at school, as well as at home. Richard lives with both parents, and two older brothers. Richard has been attending the YMCA’s full-day preschool program for the past 2 years. He is described as a “good kid” by parents and teacher, however, he is constantly active, impulsive, and frequently becoming involved in conflicts with adults. Parents are continuously working, and as mentioned in this case, they have to spend most of the time at home yelling at Richard or putting him in time-out as part of his consequences for not listening or misbehaving.

There is always a reason why a child acting a certain way. Often times they do not know how to communicate what their problem is. Tends to let it all build up inside and cope with it by doing drugs, joining a gang, disrespecting their parent, drinking alcohol and other bad behaviors. Sometimes children bring the same negative energy to the school and misbehave by fighting or disrespecting their teacher. In the Human Service field, there is a School Psychologist who reaches out to children and find out the exact problem they are experiencing.
Not only is it already hard to be a teenager, but having to deal with constant teasing and harassment is just something no one needs. There is a point in life where bullying can become so terrifying that students will rather stay at home than have to face their bully. Darnell “Dynasty” Young is a 17 year old gay teen who has gone through every possible way to stop his bullies from harassing him. His mother has tried everything but hasn’t been able to put a stop to it. Until one day, Young’s mother bought Darnell a stun gun. His mother told him to bring it to school and when the bullies began to torment him to take it out. He did just that, he did not actually shoot anyone he just waved it up in the air to intimidate his bullies. He not only got suspended but he also got arrested, yet the six boys teasing him and calling him names received no punishment whatsoever. (CNN) Young is one of the many kids that go through this type of abuse in a place where they should feel safe. This is an example of the school failing to do anything to prevent this kind of behavior, even after the parents try to intervene. This is also a great example of parents failing to implement high behavior standards by enforcing them to retaliate. Parents should be there to advice a peaceful way of resolving this in a non violent way not give them the weapon. By implementing prevention programs such as activities that help fight bullying can ultimately lead to the end of this horrific thing some kids face each day.
Listening to this podcast left me with an unsettling feeling of dismay in my stomach this week. Cheryl's oldest son started to show hostility toward his younger brother at the young age of only two years old. In the podcast Cheryl explains to us that the older brother was constantly trying to injure his younger siblings and even tried to drown his younger brother in the swimming pool. After committing that violent act he showed absolutely no remorse to his baby brother. Cheryl's eldest son also displays no remorse to the rest of his family when he acts in a aggressive manner.
Nathalie is a ten-year-old female who lives with her parents and older sister. She was referred to counseling for school refusal behavior. She has been getting home schooled for two years. She could be very resistant, and display tantrums when people attempt to get her to school or study her lessons. Her primary caregiver is her mother who is a house worker. Family business failed years ago and then her father found another job and works usually away from the home. Her mother had a serious car accident about seven years ago and has been dealing with its effects since then. School Refusal Assessment Checklist (SRAS-R) and Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL) Parents version were administered. According to assessment results, Nathalie’s primary
Student’s lack of success can occur for many reasons but some believe that that it stems from poverty. Many families are forced to work more than one job in order to maintain the household and the children end up staying at home without adult supervision. Adult supervision is needed in order to provide structure, rules, and teach children basic social skills. Social skills are essential in our daily life as it is what we use to communicate with people to get what we want or need. In my experience, I have also noticed that the majority of at risk youth come from single mom or grandparent homes. I have experienced talking to single moms or guardians who do not implement discipline at home because they do not know how to discipline. Other times, they feel bad that the child’s other parent or parents are not in the picture so they try to composite by not enforcing consequences. The mental health of a child is another important concept that schools should consider when they are dealing with troubled youth. Many students have experienced trauma in their lives that has never healed. Teaching children to properly express their emotions is something that sometimes parents do not know how to teach. Having mental health services such as counseling is a great way to help the student heal from the trauma that has been keeping them from being successful. Schools should require all student to receive a mental health screening along with their physical in order to know the student’s history and to understand and help
Bullying is a growing concern in a society where status and exercising power over another human being are increasingly important in developing one’s social circles. Dan Olweus (Norwegian researcher and founder of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program) defines it as an “aggressive behaviour that is intentional and that involves an imbalance of power. Most often, it is repeated over time” (Violencepreventionworks.org). School victimization is an especially delicate matter that has only really been in the public eye for the past half century, as more and more researchers and psychologists pointed out its short- and long-term negative effects on targeted individuals. It has since been widely investigated and numerous programs have been developed in an effort to address and prevent the many forms of bullying that exist today. The negative effects of such an abusive behaviour are various and can greatly differ from individual to individual. However, there are three main consequences that can be associated with school bullying, which are: school avoidance, depression/anxiety and even suicidal attempts.
Bullying does not have a standard definition. Bullying can be anything from calling someone else names, beating them up just for the fun of it, to texting or messaging them on the internet or any mobile device. Any person can be the victim of bullying, not just children. Bullying causes many issues, physically, emotionally, and mentally, not only for the victim, but for their entire families as well. Bullies have many different reasons as to why they start bullying someone else. The actions done to the victim leaves them with only a few options on how to stop being bullied. How they handle it is always different.
“"I was sitting at my desk in my cubicle, and suddenly she was standing over me screaming, 'What the hell is this crap? And why is it so late?' I tried to say I thought I'd done exactly what she asked for, but she cut me off and yelled about how incompetent I was"” (pg. 118-142).
