How to Discipline Anti-social student behavior?
Well mannered behavior in the classroom is a must. Student’s however, seem to be very selective in their participation at a young age. Also, special Ed. Students with learning disabilities are more prone to developing bad manners. In an article brought to us by (http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/add_adhd/ael_be havior.html), a leading researcher with students and learning disabilities; have given the public some pretty intriguing statistics….
Research shows that most antisocial behavior develops from a combination of risk factors associated with individuals, families, schools, and communities.2,3,4 The same factors apply across races, cultures, and classes, and their effects are cumulative exposure to multiple and interacting risk factors exponentially increases a child's overall risk.3,4 Also, antisocial behavior evolves over the course of childhood, often beginning in the preschool and elementary years and peaking in late adolescence/early adulthood. Direct, early intervention can halt its progress; once firmly established, however, antisocial patterns become more difficult to change and can persist into adulthood.2,4.
General Risk Factors for Antisocial Behavior
Several general factors put all children at risk for antisocial behavior, including children disabled by ADHD and LD. The presence of multiple factors increases risk; conversely, their elimination reduces risk.
Individual risk factors. Several inborn traits and characteristics related to personality, temperament, and cognitive ability have been identified as risk factors for later delinquent behavior. These do not doom children to misbehavior or crime, but they do make them more susceptible to other risks in the environment. In addition, several factors other than inborn traits are known to place individuals at risk. (See box.)
Family/community/societal risk factors. Family characteristics, as well as community and societal factors, can increase risk for antisocial behavior. (See box.)
School-related risk factors. An array of school factors can be linked to delinquent behavior. (See box.)
I believe all teachers have a responsibility to adapt and study how to deal with children of this nature. It can greatly affect the future and lifetime of a student with anti-social behavior. My question is, should a teacher be required to study and deal with counselor like issues when in the classroom? The parents may be responsible for the children at home, but, when in the classroom that student becomes your agenda. Also, what can be done to better understand the nature of a child’s anti-social behavior? There are confidentiality factors that may limit a teacher’s intervention, what is the best way to go about this growing issue?

I agreee with what andrew wrote. Teachers need to learn to adapt to every student because every student is different and has different needs. |

Every student acts the way they do for a reason, and us as educators or becoming educators are there to find out that reason as to why they act the way they do. I agree with what Andrew had posted. Every individual is different and we must find different ways of educating, disciplining, and having fun with these students. |

You need to treat every situation differently based on the childrens behavior. Being a person with ADHD myself it is imparetive to get the student involved in physical activity. As long as they are in physical movement they will not have issues with behavior. You must provide a couple different options to work on every skill or game taught at any one point in the classroom. The student will become easily distracted so keep things interesting by changing the programs to her/his needs. Only have diciplinary actions taken if student is causing a threat to other students but if they are just distracted and not wanting to do certains things sit down with that student and discuss what activities they like to do and adapt to make sure they can do what they wanted but without getting them off task. You will do much better as time goes on. |
