Hello All,
Just wanted to leave a quick note today in regards to the importance of knowing those you serve. Recently I had a client, elementary aged little boy, who has become increasingly aggressive and verbally abusive to his peers. This is a big change from the playful young man I came to know. So, after deciding to contact his Mother about my concerns in regards to his behavior, my eyes were opened. I was informed that he constantly sees examples of his Father being physically abusive. Being the big hearted-save the world person I am I wanted to immediately intercede. At this point, the entire educational team that is working with him is aware and we are adjusting accordingly.
Take Away Lesson: Never react to a behavior if you don't know the reason behind it. Children mimic what they see.
