A good way to manage this behavior is to give the child lots of reassurance and attention. I spend some one-on-one time with him during center time and include activities that encourage him to express himself. Through art activities, I encouraged the boy to express his feelings. In order to ensure that the boy is safe and comfortable, I create an environment in which he has enough space, materials, and time. Introduce to the boy the importance of art as a form of expression, and provide him with a variety of materials including paints, crayons, clay, and collage. Free expression is important, as well as discussing the artwork after it's completed without directing or judging. Providing the boy with an opportunity to express his feelings is important, and following up with additional activities such as reading books or arranging for one-on-one time can help him deal with these feelings. provide the most recent reference with in-text citations
