Help them find positive distractions like chess, Esports, walks, etc. Teach them how to manage their time with these distractions. Get involved in these little distractions with the student so they have the chance to bond and trust you. This opens the pathway to communication.

Find your groove and keep it consistent. When you change things, give them a warning if possible. Explain the changes and how it will impact them. Are there any action steps for them????

Create a fun work ticket for students that shows them what they need to work on. This is great for students that are unorganized and also struggle to initiate tasks. They can cross things off as they finish and earn GOAL bucks when they turn in their finished work ticket.

***check for quality work*** Transfer the responsibility of creating the work ticket to them in baby steps. This is a great life skill to develop.

# data[].attributes.body
use work timers. Each student has a threshold of how long they can focus for. Build that time up. Short breaks in between. Explain to them that you want to build their focus time, start with 10 minutes and see how they do. Then maybe up it to 15 and then 20. Don't go past 25 minutes of work time without a 5 minute break.

Compromise - meet them in the middle

Take a step back when they are clashing with you.
