Answer to Question 1
Possible strategies include the following:
Communicate clear, concrete expectations regarding what behaviors are and are not acceptable in the classroom.
Immediately and consistently impose consequences for aggressive actions (e.g., put Meredith in time-out).
Accompany punishment with inductionthat is, explain why the punished action is inappropriate (e.g., it causes harm to someone else) and must cease.
Teach and reinforce more prosocial behaviors (e.g., helping, cooperating, empathizing).
Encourage perspective taking (e.g., ask Meredith to look at other children's body language for clues about what they might be feeling).
Probe Meredith's thinking about her aggressive behaviors. Does she think that such behaviors are acceptable? Is she perceiving hostile intent in other children's actions? Is she more interested in having power over others than in forming true friendships with them? Answers to these questions can provide guidance about appropriate interventions.
