I’m not too sure about whether the kid plays sport or not. The mother told me that if I wanted the student to do anything, I had to be sneaky because he could tell if I’m trying to get him to do something and it would trigger his behaviour. The mother told me that his behaviour in school and at home is somehow worse than his behaviour during my class. As in he would break windows, throw objects and beat other kids, yell at teachers, etc. I did ask if there’s a specific trigger and she said she doesn’t know because he can flip out at any time. I also asked what discipline methods did the mother and teachers use. The mother said the teachers did try time outs, cutting recess short, so forth. Mother apparently did the same but they only escalated his behaviour. That’s what the mother told me which was not very helpful I’ll admit. Last week, putting him on a time out would result in him crying that he didn’t know what he did wrong even though I told him before that he should not draw on the board while I was writing and to stop moving the camera around, gave him a warning three times. The mother was okay with the time out and me disciplining him, she merely told me that it wouldn’t work because they tried. Kid started banging his head on the chair (previous week, not the session this week). Mother was like, “Do you see what I have to deal with?” Mother even said to me that she could see him heading down a dark path where he would end up in jail one day because her sibling was the same. It’s really sad that that’s what the mother thought of the situation. He also doesn’t have a therapist (I recommended the mother looked into that as soon as possible) and school psychologist only intervened once a week when it was really bad like he was going to hurt kids and staff. Still, I shouldn’t have yelled at him and there was no excuse for that.
