When children do need to mature they may simply shrug responsibilities off mid stream. There are several ways to lose control of the behavior in a classroom. Sometimes, before a therapist is recommended there are other alternatives for students. There is a school in Washington that has experimented successfully with a program for disruptive students. They provide jobs for all the disruptive students that are before and after school session.
Some students run a coffee shop and are supervised by teachers and volunteers.
There is a recycling business run by the kids which donates a fair amount of money to the class. The janitor is given a crew of these kids to help maintain the school. There is a popcorn business that kids preside too. Finally, the librarian is given a crew of students to shelf books and help out. The students now feel some sort of accomplishment and that increases their self -esteems.
