Teaching EMRS TGT Mock Test 2023 Child Development and Pedagogy Growth and Development Child Psychology
Jay, a 6-year-old boy, has recently started displaying signs of aggressive behavior both at home and school. His first-grade teacher, Mrs. Chetna, has reported incidents of Jay hitting and shouting at his classmates. At home, Jay's parents have noticed he frequently throws tantrums, often leading to the destruction of household items. During a parent-teacher meeting, Jay's parents revealed they had been going through marital difficulties and admitted that their arguments had escalated recently.
As a school counselor, you're asked to provide input on handling Jay's situation. What approach would you suggest to Mrs. Chetna?
1
Institute a zero-tolerance policy for Jay's aggressive behaviors.
2
Employ behavior modification techniques such as setting clear rules, offering praise for appropriate behavior, and introducing timeouts for aggressive behavior.
3
Exclude Jay from group activities to prevent conflicts with other children.
4
Ignore the aggressive behavior as it's a phase that Jay will outgrow.
