Kindergartner Sebastian has experienced many transitions in his home life. He is easily agitated and has frequent angry outbursts. Which of the following strategies can his teacher use in the classroom to help him calm down?
  1. Ask him to sit on a chair until he calms down.
  2. Take away recess or other privileges to discourage outbursts.
  3. Monitor his behavior for signs that he is becoming agitated and provide a “cozy corner” for him to go to safely calm down.
  4. Ask his mother to come get him when he acts out.
Explanation
Answer: C-Sebastian’s teacher can help him by monitoring his behavior and stepping in when he becomes agitated. A cozy corner is a box, bean bag, or other area in the room designated as a quiet place to go to calm down. Cozy corners are often stocked with small fidget toys, books, and stuffed animals. The teacher can calmly talk with Sebastian, helping him to feel safe and offering alternatives to angry outbursts.
