Creating win-win discipline By Dr Spencer Kagan Reflection

Can you think of a time already this year when a child has 'acted out'?

Briefly describe what happened:

Student A was asked to upload a document in his uspace. He worked through several steps on his own then came to an area where it was more difficuilt. At that time I was engaged with another student and Student A started screaming and thumping his feet and fists.



How did you deal with the situation at the time?

At the time I asked student A to ask another student for help. Student A asked another student for help but got frustrated when they started showing him how to do it, he got frustrated that they were showing him exactly what he had already done and started stomping and throwing his fists. I asked him to leave the room to calm down and then to return when his anger was in check for help.



Which of the 7 positions was the child coming from?

Anger venting


Knowing this what would you differently next time?
Beware of this next time and implement a response where student A removes himself from the learning when needing to vent.
