It would be important to meet with the Frank and Emily to encourage the parents to think about their plans for their family (Siegel & Hartzell, 2003).

Billy’s teacher had told his parents that his inappropriate behaviors at school such as disrupting the class, talking back to his teacher, and being aggressive toward other children will not be longer acceptable (Hooley, Butcher, Nock, & Mineka, 2017). Since Billy’s parents were uncritical and approving on every behavior Billy did, Billy’s treatment plan included helping parents to identify, define, and describe in a very detail way between behaviors that were disruptive and appropriate. After identifying behaviors between disruptive and appropriate Billy’s parents and teacher were instructed to ignore Billy every time he would engage in disruptive behavior, but devote their attention at those times to children who were behaving more appropriate. In other words, the goal was to eliminate Billy’s unwanted behavior by eliminating its

Choosing a technique to use throughout the therapeutic process is essential to the client as well as the therapist. By choosing a particular therapeutic approach the therapist is simply implementing a tool to help navigate through the counseling phase. Therefore, without the necessary tools needed for therapy counseling would be extremely difficult for both the client and the clinician. The ability to use different techniques is also useful for those who choose a career in school counseling. Those who choose to go into the school counseling field are disposed to using techniques that help to quickly resolve a solution or one that has the ability to change a child’s thought process or behavior. Hence, many of the practices used in conventional therapy would not be practical to use as a school counselor because they may be deemed as inappropriate or ineffective to use when counseling children. Take for instance; Psychoanalysis many of the techniques used throughout Freudian therapy would not be useful for school counselors.
Upon my investigation, the allegation of a verbal misconduct by Mr. Guilbeaux towards the youth was found to be unsubstantiated. Mr. Guilbeaux stated that in the classroom area, he never told the youth to shut up, but did redirect her to discontinue talking. The educational staff present in the classroom reported that she did hear Mr. Guilbeaux redirect the youth for talking, however could not recall the exact words used. During the investigation, Mr. Guilbeaux denied that at any time has he ever directed profanity directed towards the youth. Mr. Guilbeaux did admit to this writer, of cursing out of frustration during a separate situation when redirecting Kiah’s behavior, however expressed that the curse word was not directed towards the youth. Mr. Guilbeaux provided the example where Kiah was having issues following the directions given to her by unit and educational staff and after multiple redirections; out of frustration he stated the word, “Damn” to himself.

Another reason that students may react with disrespect, or display these negative behaviors is that they do not feel respected themselves (McNeely, 2017). Students that do not feel respected in the classroom may act out. Furthermore, if the student is not treated respectfully this can lead to confrontations, power struggles, and disruptions (McNeely, 2017). Some teachers aspire only to be respected. Consequently, they forget to respect their students (Tomlinson, 2011).
