Any tips on handling extremely bad behaviour? (All Teachers)
I’ve got a male piano student (child) who can have extremely bad behaviour (he has slight autism and ADHD) – some lessons he can be great but most lessons he will point blank refuse to play the pieces and just mess around on my piano and as patient I have been, I’m getting to a point where I’ve been down all of my usual avenues for behaviour and I’m now at a loss of what to do.
His Mum does stay in the lesson to support me and at times she has had to restrain him when he tries to run out of the lesson onto the street (I do feel sorry for her and she’s trying so hard to get him to behave and engage with the lesson, he apparently does lots of practice at home too).
I’ve tried today to sit down with him and chat to him about it but he just ended up swearing at his Mum so she promptly took him home.
Any tips?
