  1. GOOD AN INSULT is an insult even though laps but want to give them think you have to educate and train firmness without flinching WITH OUR DECISIONS…AS PUNISHMENT….IT IS NECESSARY TO CONSIDER CHANGES ATTITUDE HAS THE PUPIL, KEEPING THE DECISIONS HAS TAKEN…IS THERE STUDENT DRIVER PROSPECTS IN BEHAVIOR.

    • Hi Carlos,

      Thanks for commenting the post!
      Definitely, educate firmly is essential, more in situations how are you.

      A hug,

      • Totally agree, but the problem goes much more than insults; that is, when the competent authorities to support the decisions you made as a teacher “Directors” they don't give you support just for being a pay school

        • Yes… I agree with you.
          On many occasions we should receive more support from the school management… Let's hope that little by little this will change.
          Regards and best wishes,

  2. Excellent information as to what we are experiencing in our country Venezuela, Levels of violence are increasing daily.
    Thanks Cristina

  3. The insults of a student shows how uncultured of his personality and the need to educate tolerance for the upper or lider.ö

    And when you insulting is the parent because you want to do what he says?

    • Hello Israel,

      I think our position as teachers and teachers should always respect, tried to explain things objectively and reasonably, If parents still lose us the respect, We can do little.

      If we were to also educate parents… I understand you, because in many cases they are worse than children.

      A greeting,

  5. I think how to react is not suitable to react with humor is a positive reinforcer and does not inhibit behavior and prevent the offender is returning aggression. Cause – effect is best consequences and make clear what it should be and no and because

    • Hello, Luz,

      Thanks for your comment. You're right that causes – effect is the best way to react, but as I say in the post, it is not always possible, and we have no choice but to avoid the aggressor. I not agree with that either return the aggression.

      Sometimes, aggression is a way to draw attention, and ignore our students is the best way to deal with them.

      A greeting,
      Cristina

      • If you allow or ignore an aggression then another will have the courage to do the same or worse

        • Hello ruddy,
          It's one more way of trying “liar” with this type of behavior.
          Logically, it is only if it is something specific, if it is a student who constantly attacks, the behavior must be tackled in another way.
          A hug,

          • Let's see…. When a student insults the teacher and:
            1)the teacher pretends to be distracted and nothing happens…. the other classmates fold and denigrate the teacher.
            2) if the teacher laughs, after five minutes the parents appear offended because the teacher laughed at their son. Consequence: loss of authority and probable loss of employment
            3) If the teacher tries to avoid the student, all the students realize that the teacher “he is afraid of them” Thus, they will have fun with it since they can do it with impunity.
            4)If the teacher reacts, all students will agree to say that the teacher treats them badly, then the parents will come and the teacher may lose his job.
            5)Here is the reaction that you choose. The culprit is always the teacher. The only way this will stop is EXPULSION. I.e., let them know that when they commit a serious offense like that, there is no way back.
            The expelled student does not end the world, because he can enter another school, but he will think twice before doing it again.
            The expelled's companions, they will understand that in order to continue with the group, they must learn to respect, because the consequences are final, at least for that group.
            Unfortunately, we have been brainwashed with cheap psychology and philosophy and we believe that expelling a student from a school is excluding him. No, to expel is not to exclude, is to discipline. The student always has the opportunity to go to another school.
            A) Yes, the teacher can regain his right to teach, and students who behave correctly, they can also regain their right to learn in peace.

    I love all these tips are very useful for life and for our classroom.

    Obviously when a student hurls insults to a colleague or his companions, basically what we have is a boy or girl is violated in your family or live with people who have built their life styles of behavior inappropriate. It is necessary to inquire further about the situation, obviously without ignoring the trigger act of reflection.

    • Hello Omar,

      Totally agree with your reflection. Without knowing the situation of our student, and the reasons for such behavior, hardly get the save.

      Thank you for commenting on the post.

    THANKS FOR THE INFO, VERY SUCCESSFUL HOW TO ACT AGAINST CHILDREN Insulting, I am INITIAL TEACHING CHILDREN 3 A 4 YEARS AND GOING ME A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION IN THE CLASSROOM, I HAVE A nene 4 Insulting YEARS OFTEN NOT VERY assaulting but as part of its dialogue with other students, FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE DOING A DISCOVERY WHILE ALL THE WONDER ODBSERVAN WITH RESULT OF EXPERIMENT IS YOUR WONDER “VE HP”, AND SO MANY TIMES SAYS IN FORM AND EVERY DAY SONG GOES WITH DIFFERENT WORDS AND THE GROUP soeces SABRAN BEGINS AS A IMITATE, AND HE ALMOST ALL INTANTADO talking to their recommending parents to avoid environments where the child is immersed TO HEAR SUCH AS PALBRAS INDICATE THAT HOME IS NOT LISTENING AND BY A cousin who lives near them, But the situation becomes more difficult PORQ SPEAK THE NORMALLY, DESPITE THAT ALREADY INDICATES THE RULES AND CONSEQUENCES OF ACTING THE ONLY PLACE AT THAT TIME…

    • Hello Lilyana,

      First, thanks for commenting on the post.
      In this case you mention, by what I see, insults are not addressed to a friend / partner, but it is part of their way of expressing themselves. The truth is that it is a complicated situation, because the child is very exposed to this kind of vocabulary and sees it as a natural.

      It occurs to me to make a list of commonly used words, the you see together and prepare a table of rewards, You can see how this post: http://vamoscreciendo.com/2013/11/10/como-mejorar-el-comportamiento-de-tu-hijo/
      Explain that words can not say because they are inappropriate and lacking respect for the rest of his teammates and, therefore, every day that do not use these words will be a contented face.

      Let's see if, reasoning and by reinforcing positive, improvement.

      See how it evolves telling.

      A hug,
      Cristina

  9. I like your tips, I think I have a lot to learn now I get to work with students preadolesscentes. Thank you.

  10. Respect is not earned, all must be respected by virtue of being human beings. Teachers should not earn respect, This must already exist.

    • Hello Jose,

      I agree, but we are talking about children, they are not born knowing innately respect, it should be us as adults, parents and teachers, we have to teach children to respect.

      A hug and thank you for commenting on the post.

    What to do when a student behind the teacher makes faces, gestures, and mocks him during a class? What attitude you should take the teacher when he learns of this situation? It is worth mentioning that undergraduate education is, We are talking about students 20 years old.

    • Hello Camila,

      Sincerely, at this level I would resort to sanctions.
      Is this attitude also with other teachers?

      A hug,
      Cristina

  12. Pilar Sanchez

    If there is a girl of 10 years when the teacher is not there. ..uses profanity and they both threw those words in front of some colleagues …the only thing the teacher told him. ..that nothing happened here and that he does not want to hear more about this ... I am a mother of one of the students who perceived this…can i intervene. ..because I don't like that environment for my daughter as a partner

    • Good morning pilar,

      Undoubtedly the teacher should intervene in this type of situation, the problem is that if he was not present it is difficult to determine what exactly happened.

      In any case, the teacher should speak directly to the student who insulted, determine if it is something that happens regularly and why it happens.

      Hopefully it won't happen again.

      A greeting,
      Cristina

  13. I have a student 18 high school years, I am his teacher and he has muttered very strong rudeness to me, like a bitch and more. What should I do? He is a young adult and manipulates others to do the same, because they know that nothing happens.

    • Hello, Gloria,

      With this age, from my point of view, I think the school should take serious action with him, like an expulsion.

      I think there are behaviors that cannot be allowed, and with adults we must be blunt.

      Regards and best wishes,
      Cristina
