  3. **The key to understanding students’ misbehavior is to understand their motive.**

  4. Motives Behind Misbehavior • Attention seeking • Power seeking • Revenge seeking • Displaying inadequacy

  5. **In examining his/her own feelings, a teacher can determine the underlying goal of the child’s misbehavior.**

  6. To Identify the Goal of the Child • Teacher feels annoyed • Teacher feels threatened or challenged • Teacher feels hurt or angry • Teacher feels pity or despair

  7. Attention Annoyance Linking Motives and Feelings • Power • Challenged • Revenge • Hurt/Anger • Inadequacy • Pity/Despair

  8. To Overcome These Mistaken Goals: • First, identify the goal • Second, confront the goal

  9. How Do I Identify The Goal? • ASK QUESTIONS! • http://www.noogenesis.com/malama/discouragement/Dreikurs/could_it_be_that.html
