Strategies Help the student set up a method for self-monitoring.
Establish a private signal to remind student to stop and think. Provide opportunities for the student to practice self-monitoring with positive reinforcement for effort. For example, teach the student to use self-talk to slow down reactions to stressors. Discuss the reasons for limits to tolerance of aggression with the student. Identify the problem with the student in a private conference to decrease peer attention which may reinforce the behaviour.
