PROBLEM-KID PROBLEM-SOLVER TIP

How to Teach Students to Master and Maintain New Behaviors

Studies suggest that many students only hear about 10% of what you say, and that they only stay "tuned in for about 15 to 20 minutes. If it seems like using words is ineffective, you're absolutely right. For many of these youth, conventional methods aren't working sufficiently to "cement in" new skills, attitudes and motivations. Ordinary behavioral strategies are frequently ineffective. We have updated, compelling methods that are specifically designed to work
when conventional approaches fail.
(Continued below-- click here)

At our workshops, participants often ask "How do I know when I have sufficiently taught a skill so that it will be a habit?" The answer is that when you are completely tired of repeatedly teaching that skill, you're probably getting close to "cementing it in." If you start dreaming about that skill at night, you may be close to done. For populations who do not process information well, use English as a second language, are troubled, distracted, ADHD, have disabilities or emotional problems, repetition will be absolutely essential. Stating rules will never be able to have the impact of actually teaching students the desired skills. That is why we have dozens and dozens of interventions and resources for single problem areas from hand raising to talk-outs, from attendance to anger control, from bad attitudes to work refusal. You may need an arsenal of tools to have the desired impact-- and that is what we offer you.

You also compete with video games, iPods, computers and TV for students' attention. That is why we recommend that you use the most attention-grabbing devices that exist. Our resources are deliberating created to grab students' attention then hammer home the points that you want to make. Talking won't do the trick. Studies show that students often forget half of what you say within 30 minutes. Our interventions are designed to be unforgettable.

Our

books and

DVDs are packed with an amazing array of powerful and varied solutions, but also be sure to view our whole huge web site for additional interventions and information. Our Site Search Engine is a quick way to find the tools you need right away

THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Q: For multi-problem kids, are there key problem areas that I should address first or as soon as possible?
A: Here are the top two areas. The first area that we always recommend you consider is safety, but not just for acting out, conduct disordered, oppositional, defiant, angry, violent, impulsive types of youngsters. Remember to notice all your classroom management concerns, and your entire group of students. Consider safety issues for less noticeable populations even though you may view these youngsters as your "good" or quiet ones.
(Continued below-- click here)

There are plenty of other students who are often typically overlooked, such as depressed, withdrawn, abused, neglected, thought disordered, and anxious students. Children in crisis, socially maladjusted, and alcoholic and addicted kids also often are missed. You must be especially careful to closely monitor the safety issues faced by students who may be quietly gesturing or suicidal. Carefully watch pregnant girls, teen parents, and those adolescents and children who have severe emotional or family problems. This guideline holds true for teachers, sped teachers, principals, court workers, justice workers, foster parents, and case managers. You don't have to be trained as a social worker, counselor, psychologist or mental health worker to incur an obligation to keep all kids safe. All youth workers have that obligation, regardless of their training, job title, or the mission of their site.

The second problem area that we recommend you consider addressing as soon as possible is attendance and punctuality. Why? If you are the best teacher, counselor or special educator-- whatever your job-- it doesn't matter how talented and effective you are if that student isn't in your classroom or office. The time to start teaching attendance and punctuality is Day 1, Week 1 of your contact with the child. If a child is absent, nothing else you do that day really matters for that student. Our All the Best Answers for the Worst Kid Problems Series (shown below) includes innovative strategies for many of these critical starting points, plus much more.
