BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS 
What steps can be followed to resolve a child’s constant misbehavior?

Be sure the child understands that it is not he/she who is unacceptable, 
but rather the behavior.

If the misbehavior occurs again, follow through with the previously 
planned disciplinary action. 

Throughout the process, keep the principal as well as the Team Leader, 
informed of the progress or lack progress.

If the child continues to misbehave and you feel that you have utilized all
