I am a preschool teacher with a class of 12 4 and 5 year-olds. One of my students, a girl, has been exhibiting very aggressive behaviors (kicking, hitting, screaming) towards teachers and other students when she does not get her way. We have tried several dfferent methods (rewards for good behavior, etc.) to subdue this behavior and replace it with more positive ones, but all have backfired. My frustration level with this child is getting to the breaking point, and it is affecting the entire class. Any ideas? (The parents are aware of the behavior and also see it at home.)
