You are a pre-K teacher at a small public school. One of your students, a boy named Timothy, is usually a compliant student but lately has become disruptive. He also has started pushing other students and taking items from them. His classmates are beginning to avoid him, which seems to make him angrier and more aggressive.
Concerned, you call Timothy’s home to discuss the situation with his parents. Timothy’s mother proposes that it might be best for her to come to school for a parent-teacher conference. Using NCFELD, Emotional and Social Development (ESD) as a guide develop some strategies that you will discuss with her at the upcoming meeting.
