Sometimes it's important to deal with a student's apparent inappropriate behavior seriously, but not having a good deal of emotional well-being doesn't necessarily guarantee that a student will repeat the same problem. In addition to having boundaries, we must also teach students to manage their emotions and help them find ways to settle their emotions, so that they will grow into healthy children in body and mind.
The students hurried to the teacher's room and yelled that some classmates were throwing tantrums in the class room, knocking down other people's desks and chairs, and asking me to deal with it in the class room. I walked out of the teacher's room and asked who it was. The student said it was a calf. I thought to myself that he has a bad temper recently, and he is also a sensitive child. What happened this time, causing his inner anxiety and anger?

When he arrived at the class room, Maverick was angry, and the class teacher tried to stop it, but his negative energy was also very large. After judging the situation, I still asked him to leave the class room. It would be better to stay away from classmates for a while, so I took him to the school affairs office to settle the child's emotions first.

The class teacher first learned about the situation. It turned out that the classmates made fun of him, that he had been hugged, and that he was still a baby, so he was angry. I understood, and asked him, "But when you knock down other people's desks and chairs and beat them, do you still think about it?" He said yes, and then asked, "Do your classmates stop making fun of you?" He said. When I said no, I said, "Is it useful to be so angry and hit someone?" He said no, I stopped the conversation for a while and let him think about the conversation just now.

After a while, I asked, "Where is your anger in your body? Is it in your heart?" He said yes, me: "How big is your anger?" He: "As big as a fist!" Me: "Your anger What color is anger?" He: "It's red," and I: "Hmm! You're really angry! Do you want to send your anger away?" He nodded thoughtfully.

I put my hand in his heart, asked him to take a deep breath, and asked if he felt better? Are you breathing slower? He said yes. I asked him to recall, did you have a happy time with your classmates? He said yes, and I asked him to say it. After each segment, I asked him if the anger in his heart had diminished, and he said yes. Finally, ask him if his anger is still there? He said that there is still Xiaoxiao, what color is the anger now? He said that it is blue now, I appreciate it, the color of anger has changed, and now you are not very angry, and your mood is much calmer.
