his or her behavior independently (self-control).

Outside Control of Someone’s Behavior
• Your response to the behavior• Punitive responses (sent to office)• Physical intervention of any kind• Attempts to “control”
*If we rely on outside control, we are preparing the person for a controlled environment (like jail).

Cognitive Behavioral Approach
• Teach the student to take notice of situations that typically cause them problems (recess, bus rides).
• Teach the student strategies to relax his body before he has to face difficult situations.
• Make a plan that both you and your student buy into that involves becoming a “first responder” (pre-empting a loss of control).
