Lesson Plan
Defiance Lesson Plan
Guide a 6th grader to uncover personal triggers for defiant behavior, recognize associated emotions, and practice communication and self-regulation techniques to build cooperation and emotional control.
Defiant behavior often stems from unrecognized triggers and emotions; by increasing self-awareness and giving the student coping and communication tools, we reduce conflict and improve engagement.
