The Clinical Use of Sports Skills Tutoring with Grade School Boys Referred for School Behavioral Problems.

Armstrong, Kevin J.; Drabman, Ronald

Child & Family Behavior Therapy, v16 n1 p43-48 1994

High school or college students serve as sports tutors for unpopular elementary school boys. Once the child's skill level is adequate, the child is placed in an important position the next time a game is played. Treated children are often described as more self-confident, happier, and less disruptive in class. (LKS)
