1. A child in your grade 2 classroom has difficulty staying focused during class meetings and is very
impulsive in play situations. The child is also becoming increasingly withdrawn and emotional as the
term progresses. A colleague suggests that your student seems to be losing self-esteem, and that by
supporting the child in learning better self-regulation his self-esteem will gradually improve. Do you
think your colleague has provided sound advice? If you agree, why do you agree? If not, why not?
