Parent support
By Wanda

What do the parents think about their child's behavior? Do the parents support your actions or are they opposed to what you do in class. You mentioned that they make up excuses so do they acknowledge a problem?

I
have a student in grade two like that and she is working on a behavior chart. For each forty minute period that she shows appropriate behavior, she gets a sticker. At the end of the month, she gets a prize if she has 80% of her chart filled. When we first started, she was able to earn weekly prizes. Her mother has continued with the behavior chart at home. We had a meeting with the child

and child's mother when we decided to continue the chart at home. Yes, I ignore the bad behavior as long it does not endanger anyone. It has taken us 4 months to get to this point but it has been worth it.
