What is one potential consequence of ignoring a student’s attention-seeking behavior, such as Claire's disruptions?

Enhancing peer relationships.
Banning disruptive behavior.
Increasing the frequency of the disruptive behavior.
Improving class focus.

The correct answer is: Increasing the frequency of the disruptive behavior.

Ignoring a student’s attention-seeking behavior can lead to an increase in the frequency of that behavior. When disruptions are not addressed, the student may become more persistent or escalate their actions to regain the attention they are seeking. This can create a cycle where the student feels that their needs for attention are not being met, which may push them to intensify their disruptive behavior to draw attention to themselves. Over time, this can also influence the classroom environment negatively and affect the learning experiences of other students. In contrast, actively managing attention-seeking behaviors in a constructive manner can help the student learn more appropriate ways to seek attention and ensure a more conducive learning environment for everyone involved.
