[QUOTE="1905, post: 595153, member: 2668"] What would have happened if you had let her wear the tap shoes? I'm thinking you could pick your battles and give her more leeway, not everything has to be a constant fight....even though you may not allow another child to do this, maybe lower your expectations for her. From my own experience, I work with learning disabled children, one 10 year old always acts out, yelling, saying inappropriate things on the way to lunch. It's not so much in the class, it's like he needs to let out steam after being cooped up until 1pm. I let him. I will redirect, he talks back, but he is not punished in any way because I understand this and don't want to make things worse for him. He has enough issues and I don't want him to miss recess, he needs to be successful. If he is too loud in the hallway, oh well, he is the only one I allow to get away with this. Maybe I'm wrong for doing this, but things could go so much MORE wrong if I did not choose to overlook this. I know other teachers, not Special Education, think I'm just not doing anything about his behavior, not doing my job, and maybe think I'm lame, but they don't know my method for dealing with this child and it's none of their business! With your difficult child, maybe take this approach more often and see if things are better. [/QUOTE]
