Hi All,

We have a student in second grade who becomes very emotional when afraid of being in trouble for not finishing his work. He cries when having to go to "detention" during recess for not finishing his work. Detention in the cafeteria is where our kids go when they didn't bring in homework or have to finish classwork, and/or break classroom rules. He has a hard time completing classroom tasks. We are having an SST mtg next week to address academic concerns, but are also concerns about how emotional he gets.

What are some emotional dev. strategies or ideas to support this student? I would really appreciate your help :).

and what are you concerns about his emotional response? (I almost cried when I had to go to detention in high school)

Is his emotional response inconvenient? I see nothing so terribly wrong with a young child being ...See More

Sara You say he's not goofing off then - why send him to detention?? You're also saying that he has learning differences - no wonder he can't finish his work in the same time frame as other children. Why punish him for that?

Maybe you could stop him crying by explaining why he has to go to 'detention' with children who've broken rules but I'd b...See More

Musicmae It sounds like this child may have a learning disability - you say all these interventions have been given to the child and he still fails - maybe it is time to refer him for special education - don't put it on the parent to take him to an agency for extra help when the school can provide help if he is found eligible for special education.
