Principles of prevention
Catch the students being good. Teach the child to ask for attention
You don’t have to give children their way to let them have their say. Though when possible, delegate responsibilities to this student.
Build a caring relationship. Separate the deed from the doer. Teach a child to express his/her hurt without lashing out.
Encourage an ‘I can’ belief so the child doesn’t think ‘I can’t’. Foster friendship.
