2.  Existential Therapy	Teacher, I am afraid to sing on the stage. I don’t want to be on stage. I’m afraid of the crowd.  I can sing only in our house.	Why are you afraid of the stage? You have a beautiful voice. You have the talent.  Let us practice everyday on stage so that during the presentation, you will be confident enough.	The teacher exposed the child to something he is afraid to that can hinder her talent.  The teacher uses the paradoxical intentions or reverse psychology.  If the student is afraid of something, the teacher may use story telling or role playing about the child is afraid to.	The student will learn that he or she can overcome his fears if he wants to.
3.  Person-Centered Therapy	Teacher, I don’t want to join them in the activity.	Why you don’t want to join.  Come, let’s join them.  I prepared activities that I’m sure you will enjoy.	Some of the children are shy and don’t want to mingle with others.  By giving first small group activities then big group activities, the child will develop confidence and will socialize to others.	The pupils will be able to overcome his shyness by joining in the different activities. And eventually will boost confidence and self esteem.
4. Psychoanalytic  Therapy	Teacher, I was having hard time with this art project.  They got all my ideas.	There are a lot of ideas or concepts you can make.  Look around you and see what I mean.	The child is making an excuse in doing an artwork.  Most of the children will do this(projection) to blame others just to escape from responsibility especially in classroom activities.  I think the teacher must strengthened the self esteem and self confidence of the child.	The child will understand that there are many ways to finish those activities assigned to them.
5.  Gestalt Therapy	Teacher, I am mad at my seatmate.	Why are you mad at him.  How would you feel if he tells that to you.	The teacher can use dialogue or story telling so that the pupils can experience how to be in the shoes of others.  This is what Gestalt called Playing the Projection.	The student will know how does it to be in the other people’s situation.  Through this, they will avoid the things they don’t want others to do with them.
6. Transactional Analysis	Teacher, please help me.  I can’t open my lunchbox.	You can do that.  Look, you and Rey have the same lunchbox.  Observe how he will open his.	The teacher   set his another pupil as example to the child who is telling that he is not able to open the lunchbox.	The pupil will learn how to achieve autonomy and become responsible for their own actions.
7. Behaviorism Therapy	Teacher, Jon kicked the tower of blocks I made.	Jon, pick up those blocks and build it again. I won’t check your own work until you finished assembling those tower.	The teacher uses punishment to change the behavior of the Jon.  By giving consequences for his behavior.	The child will avoid doing negative things to avoid future consequences.
8. Interpersonal Therapy	Teacher, I always cry because my Grandpa died.  He was my favorite friend. Yes, I always feel lonely. I think he will feel sad because when he was alive, he always wants me happy.	Did the situation change you? All of us will die, only in different time.  Do you think your Grandpa will be happy if he will be seeing you always crying? Then, try to be happy though he’s gone.	The teacher asks what caused the child to behave in that way. The teacher helps the child to divert his feelings into a positive one. The teacher may use storytelling for cases like this.	The child will be able to cope with the problems of life by addressing the issue and from that, making an alternative solution for that.
9. Reality Therapy	Teacher, I don’t want Oscar to be included in our group play.  Transfer him to another group or I’ll transfer anyway.  He bullied me before when we used to become neighbor before.  Thanks, they transferred their house. I don’t think so. Yes he did.	I have grouped you already and have chosen the specific roles for you. What do you want to happen? Do you think it will resolve the problem?  I’ve heard that he is asking for forgiveness.  Why don’t you forgive him anyway.  You will be needing each other for this activity.  Give him a chance anyway. You will be staying together in this classroom for ten months. You can be friends now.	The teacher let the child explain his own story and ask for his point of view. The teacher let not the child to think of the past instead faced the reality that he must forgive and that they are classmates.	The child will understand the fact that there will be a time he or she will be in a group and need each others company.
