I have a question regarding a situation in my classroom. I am not sure what to do with it. I have my kiddos grouped at tables and have stressed to them that this is where we are for the year. Reminded them that sometimes we have to sit by people we aren't besties with and have to work with people that we don't get along with either, but we have to try. Here is the scenario: the student is exhibiting controlling and intimidating behavior. This behavior manifests in various ways, such as manipulation, coercion, or even outright physical aggression outside the classroom. What do I need to do to change things for safety, but keep my policies? Things are not happening in the classroom yet, but I am concerned. Thanks for your help.

My son is 5 but is still struggling with anger and tantrums. We are at a loss on how to correct this behavior. Please help!

I am struggling with my 10 year old daughter. She is diagnosed ADHD. We have been struggling to find a medication that works. She is not completing her school work, she has emotional outbursts in school, and she allows herself to get sidetracked when she is supposed to be completing tasks and I get to the point of yelling too often. I am a single mother and have been looking for help and options and have not found anything that has worked for us yet.
