Scenario 1: An Unhappy Student

B) Our Comments: If you have an “Unhappy Student” to tackle, there is no cut-and-dried formula to address such a situation. However, our group believes that under-noted suggestions may be of much help in coping with such students.
Our advice to Educators:
a) Try to ascertain the reasons for the unhappiness
b) If necessary, the parents may be contacted or counselled.
c) Motivational and appreciative words soothe the feelings
d) Make the student involved in some physical form of activities
e) Development of hobbies and creation of interest in reading books etc. are of much help also.
Scenario 2: An Intolerant Student
