Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Tentative

Disruptions. Task avoidance. Refusal. Verbal acting out, physical acting out, fights, office referrals, suspensions—you name it, you’ve dealt with it.

How do you handle kids who act out?

You know from experience that a gut-instinct response is not a response that often works. Respond on primal instinct and the situation generally gets worse. Tempers flare. Kids escalate. Chaos fuels the fire.

But with a proactive approach, you can navigate difficult situations with a lot more ease. Often, you and your colleagues can even PREVENT student behaviors from spinning out of control in the first place.
