Disruptive youth

In group settings, there are all kinds of disruptive youth and all kinds of reasons for their being disruptive.

• Some of these issues may be a result of cultural differences and the way a youth was raised. Try to figure out when this is the case. Meeting the parents will probably help on this. It is important to respect cultural differences as well as personality differences while including and integrating each into the larger group.
  
• Since we cannot read minds and probably aren't in a position to do a full psychological evaluation, worry more on behavior than trying to figure out what is driving a person to behave badly.
  
• They'll be more posts about specific behavioral issues later.
