Hi, I need to create a story about my student, David. David is a first-grade student. He has a challenging time staying in his classroom. He has been eloping when he becomes frustrated, doesn't want to do something hard, or wants to go home. I need to create a story about how he needs to stay safe and how eloping is not a good choice. Instead, we want him to use his words to advocate for himself and express his emotions (emotional regulation). He has a behavior chart, where he earns chosen breaks when he makes good choices and stays in his area and completes his work. Create a story for him to understand. He has dirty blonde hair and loves Legos.
