Think about your observations and ask Dr. Green’s question:
What is getting in the way? Is the child more irritable because
of poor diet? lack of sleep? allergies? Is the child over- or
under-responsive to sights, noises or movement? Does the child
have the confidence and skills for the activities? How does the
child handle daily transitions or unexpected events? Consider
the many which contribute to a child’s ability to behave.
Michael’s teacher thinks he cannot manage saying goodbye
to his mother at the same time he sees other children doing so
many things he’d like to do. |
