Help the student to develop his ability to make eye contact. Work to increase the student’s ability to pay attention. Help the student to stay in his seat. Focus on building the student’s ability to be compliant. Be prepared to face behavioral issues. Remove negative stimuli and use ‘time-outs’ as a way to address behavioral issues.

Answer: Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) the student may need to relearn some of his skills. He might have been adept in these skills previously, but because of brain damage you may need to help him relearn them.  Closely monitor the student's behavior and take note of any special needs or changes in behavior. The student might look normal to you, but there are many underlying problems that can appear late in life. Students with brain injuries should be given extra time for learning. They should not be punished or scolded for not completing their task in time. They may be feeling depressed or agitated, so it's important to assure them of your love and support. Develop the student's ability to make eye contact through direct eye contact exercises, games and other activities.  One of the most simple and effective techniques to develop eye contact with a child is to identify their favorite picture, object or toy and then place that object on a table where you can view it easily. Ask the child to find the reflection of the object in your eyeball. Many children make excellent eye contact in this way. For very young children, peek-a-boo is a helpful game which you can modify in accordance with the age of the child. . Another very interesting game is the “eye blink game”. Ask the child to look at you or any other child and ask them to recognize who blinked the eye first. While performing any task, keep on telling the child to “look at me”. Positively reinforce any eye contact made with praise or rewards. Use attention building exercises like play therapy or story reading exercises. For play therapy choose a toy or real pet which the child likes.  You can ask the child to brush the pet if it has long hair, help the child play with it, care for it and interact with it. This tremendously increases the attention span of a child in a single activity. Similarly, help the child listen to a recorded story or a video story. You can also read a picture book to the child, then ask him to re-tell you the story. A student with traumatic brain injury might be prone to hyperactivity and have difficulty staying in their seat. In this case positive reinforcement is the best option.  Praise the child for each positive behavior, such as standing near the seat, placing a hand on the seat or sitting on the seat for short periods of the time. The child will begin to connect sitting down with praise, encouraging them to do so. For some extremely tantrum throwing, aggressive or hyper active child you can use holding therapy where the child is forcefully held in seat. This can be done through an enclosed chair from which the child cannot escape. You can also physical restrict the child onto the seat. Teach the child to comply with your requests through reinforcement and encouragement. Identify which types of positive reinforcement work best for the child.  You can use a star chart to help the child build compliance. When the child achieve a certain number of stars per week, you can give the child a tangible reinforce like a treat, or a sticker. Similarly, you can use rewards like watching TV or cartoon video, but only if the child complies with your instructions. Many children with traumatic brain injuries display behavioral issues during the recovery and rehabilitation phase. Sometimes these behavioral issues are caused by medications, hormonal changes or the brain damage itself. Understand that negative behavior always happens for a reason. For example the child might exhibit negative behaviors (such as tantrums or refusing to do what their told) in order to gain attention, to avoid learning a difficult task or as a response to frustration. Once you understand where the negative behaviors are coming from, try to omit the negative stimulus in order to calm the child down. If this doesn't work, you can use "time-outs" to teach the student about the behavior that's expected from them.  Students should be given time out for 5 to 15 minutes to regain control of their anger and return to normal. Another way of dealing with negative behavior is just to ignore it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: After you've given the verbal apology a try, use other methods if she still hasn't forgiven you. Write a letter of apology. Depending on the girl, try a public apology. Leave flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals at her home or workplace. Write a song apologizing and post it on YouTube. Write a poem apologizing to her.

Answer: Sometimes, you'll need to give her several apologies before she accepts that you're truly sorry. That's okay; the more thought and effort you put into your apology, the likelier she is to forgive you. Give it to her in a romantic way, such as hidden in a nice bouquet, or delivered personally by one of her best friends. The letter can say something like this: Example: "I know that a letter can't fully make up for what I did. I also know that a letter won't fully capture how I feel and what I have to say. What I do know is that I messed up. I can't imagine not being with you. You're who I dream of when I go to bed, and who I think of when I wake up in the morning. You're everything. Nothing I do now will make up for what I did, but I can tell you that I'll never make that mistake again. I promise from the very bottom of my heart." Be careful, because some girls hate other people knowing all about their relationship. Use your discretion before a public apology. Consider this, too: she might feel like you are using public pressure to force her to forgive you, as in "Oh, how could Sarah not take him back? Look how sweet he is to her!" It might ultimately be better to keep these things between you as a couple.  Go for the straightforward public apology. Just go up to her when she's with a group of friends, have something prepared, and bare your heart. Look her deeply in the eyes when you apologise, and focus your attention solely on her. If you're feeling really creative, try using a flash mob to apologize to her. Flash mobs require a lot of work and preparation, so be sure it will work if you do decide to pull it off. Girls love these three things. Be sure to write a short message to her; flowers and chocolates without a message apologizing again takes a lot of the emotion out of it. Remember, you want emotion! Songs about missing people, having wronged people, or just songs about guilt and shame would work too. Of course, any song that has significance to you as a couple would be nice. You could try changing some of the lyrics to fit the situation. Alternately, make her a mix. A mix is a little less personal, but with the right care and thought, it can help you get your message across. Pick both songs you know she loves and songs you think she hasn't heard. Leave it for her, or record yourself saying it on her answering machine. Make it heartfelt and very emotional if you can, something like:

Answer:
The more educated you are on the subject, the easier it will be to stay calm when it happens. Your first period will probably be very light, and may not even look like blood. You may notice your period as bright red drops in your underwear, but it could also be any shade from maroon to brown. Also, don't worry that you will be losing a lot of blood. The average woman loses only about 1 oz. (30 ml) of blood during her period.  When your period comes, you may notice a feeling of wetness in your underwear. You may even feel liquid flowing out of your vagina, or you may not notice anything at all.  If you are scared of blood or bleeding, try framing it this way: your period isn’t blood from a wound or injury. The blood from your period is actually a sign that you're healthy. Many girls have undergone an early form of sex ed sometime between grades 4 and 6, which normally discusses periods and what to do when you get your first period. If you've taken one of these classes, make a mental note of any information you've learned about periods. It helps to remember such information when you get your period. One of the best ways to learn about what to expect is to talk to your mom, older sister, aunt, cousin, or friend who has already gotten their period. This way you can have an open, back and forth conversation, and ask any questions you may have. Furthermore, girls often begin their periods around the same age as their mother or sisters did. So if talking to your mom or sister is an option, find out when they started and what is was like.  You can simply say, "I'm nervous about getting my first period." (Or if you have already started, "I just started my first period.") Then you can say, "What was it like when you started yours?" Your local drugstore or grocery store will probably have an entire aisle dedicated to feminine hygiene products. There are a lot of choices, and eventually you’ll figure which products you like best. To start out, look for pads that aren't too bulky or noticeable. You will probably want light or medium absorbency..  Pads are probably the easiest thing to start out with. You will have enough to think about without worrying about how to properly insert a tampon. However, if you would prefer to use a tampon or a menstrual cup during your first period, that is OK too. It is most important for you to feel comfortable. If you feel embarrassed about buying pads or tampons, just remember that the cashier really doesn't care what you are buying and it's nothing new or shocking to them. It is a good idea to store some pads in your backpack, purse, gym bag, and/or locker at school (just one or two in each place is fine). If you have the supplies with you at school, you do not need to worry about your first period catching you by surprise.  You may want to get a makeup bag or pencil case to store your period supplies. You may also want to hide a pair of underwear in your locker just in case. You may also want to keep a little bottle of ibuprofen or other over-the-counter pain medication in your locker to help with cramps (just check your school's policy on this first). You may also want to toss in a bar of chocolate, as it has been proven to help with PMS and give your mood a boost. . There is no surefire way to know that your period is approaching, but there are some signs that might give you a clue. If you experience a stomach or backache, cramps in your abdomen, or sore breasts it may mean that your first period is approaching.  Women can get their first periods as early as eight years old and as old as 16. The average age is 12.  You may notice a white discharge in your underpants up to six months before getting your first period.  Your period usually comes after you have reached 100 pounds.
