From Anger to Peace

Mahmood is 6 years old, he used to come to school with a violent and angry attitude, he would shout at the class and make a big scene inside and outside of class. His teacher wanted him to succeed and so The teacher pulled him aside to talk. The teacher talked about respect and how he should behave in school. This personal attention worked. His behavior changed and instead of being violent and angry he is able to be in class peacefully. He understood the responsibility and respect necessary for class and now he encourages other students to act better too. This one positive interaction changed the dynamic in a classroom and turned a young boy from distracting other students with his behavior to being an example and leader in this class room.
