Dealing with Frustration
1. Identify someone they can talk and confide in
2. Gently correct them and use redirection
· Remind the student what they should be doing
3. Direct instruction for dealing with stress, tension, frustration, or anxiety
· Teach student how to identify when getting tense and how they are feeling overall
· Student should practice calming strategies throughout the day when not feeling that way
4. Have both teacher and student develop an unobstrusive signal for when starting to feel or show signs of frustration so they can practice strategies
5. Teach student to use positive talk: switch negative statement to positive
6. Structure academic success for the student
You have some fantastic resources on your blog.
ReplyDeleteAs part of Conscious Discipline, we teach kiddos how to manage their frustrations. We have a Safe Place in our rooms where they can go to cool down (This is NOT time out). We also teach the kiddos how to drain, balloon, STAR, and pretzel. It is amazing the language CD builds in the children and in the teacher....it is beyond incredible and I teach at-risk kiddos. I would love for you to come read more about it. =)
