If you have a family that is experiencing crisis the best way to support that family is by reaching out and providing resources that may help. There are so many families out there in current crisis and they just do not know where to turn for help. If you can tell by the child’s appearance that maybe they need shoes or clothing, send a flier home with some resources on them. Send a flier home with every child in the class so it appears inclusive. Call the family and see how you can help. We have a resource center right across the street from us and sometimes I just simply get the student new things from there, have them change and put the old ones in their backpack. The parents that really need things are grateful, but some are just too prideful to ask. And if you approach the situation with understanding and empathy, parents are much more responsive. I had a family last year that disliked the paraprofessional before me. She is a nice lady, but the issue is when she talks to people less fortunate it almost sounds like she talks down to them. The parents took her help offensively and would shout at her that they did not want her hand outs. Parents will not accept help if they feel less than. Based on Matthew 25:35-40, God feels that if you help the less fortunate you are also helping him. Comment as you see fit

Teachers and schools are usually the first line of resource for families. Many times parents do not know where to turn for help. Understanding the family situation can help teachers to understand behaviors in the classroom.
Review the following case study to inform the assignment that follows:
Ms. Smith is a first year kindergarten teacher. She teaches at a Title 1 school where most of her students receive free or reduced price breakfast and lunch. She has found that managing a classroom that meets the unique needs of so many different learners is a challenge.
One student in particular, Joshua, presents many challenges. He frequently pushes other students in line, gets in fights on the playground, and will often leave his desk or whole group instruction without permission. He likes the block area, and often refuses to clean up and come to circle time. He can be disruptive at times and often requires redirection and assistance in finding his seat. Ms. Smith spoke to a colleague who suggested she meet with the family to see if they can find ways to work with Joshua.
Joshua’s father, Mr. Carson, is a single parent. His wife is an alcoholic and abuses prescription medication. She has left the family after several arrests and serving time for DUI. Mr. Carson works a minimum wage job and barely makes enough to support Joshua and his younger brother. He has a difficult time getting both boys calmed down and into bed in the evening. He also struggles with Joshua’s high level of activity, noncompliance, and fighting with his brother at home. Joshua frequently takes his younger brother’s toys, pushes his younger brother, and hits him. Finding a babysitter is difficult, and he has no other supports since family lives in another state.
During the problem-solving meeting, Ms. Smith referred Mr. Carson to a couple of nearby family counseling centers in the community. Mr. Carson agreed to research those centers and to reward Joshua at home any time he followed directions and shared toys with his brother using positive praise and a sticker chart. Ms. Smith also agreed to use a sticker chart at school for following directions and sitting in circle. Joshua will work toward free time in the block center after three earned stickers each day. Mr. Carson and Ms. Smith decided to try these interventions for 6 weeks and meet again to see how Joshua is progressing. Ms. Smith also decided to consult with special education staff to determine the best way to document Joshua’s behavior and progress so there is concrete data to review during their next meeting.
Write a 500-750 word analysis of the case study. Include the following:
Behaviors that are warning signs and the mental health and social/emotional difficulties they could reveal for Joshua.
Stressors and possible emotions the family is experiencing.
Classroom and school resources that could be offered to support this student and family.
Instructional differentiations to support Joshua.
Resources, supports, and any specialized services to meet Joshua’s individual needs.
Support your analysis with 2-3 scholarly resources.
