I am at the end of my tether for want of a better phrase my ds's behaviour at nursery is becoming unacceptable. Last night I got a letter saying if he behaviouir continues he will be excluded from nursery. My dp earns peanuts and really dont want to go down the Income Support route. He is lashing out at other children/staff when he does not get his own way and shouts/sometimes swears and has taken to throwing things around the room at lunchtime (cutlery mainly which is obviously dangerous). He does have tantrums at home but nothing like this and I have now gotten to the point where I feel guilty for even taking him there I feel sorry for the staff. Dont get me wrong he is not like this 100% of the time every single day and perhaps yesterday's letter was a result of the staff having a really bad day with the kids but I feel ashamed, guilty and really dont know what I can do to help the situation. I try to stay calm with him and talk firmly rather than losing my cool but we all know how difficult that can be at times. If there is anyone out there who has had similar problems or has worked in a nursery environment I would be very grateful for advice I can try and use at home and also to try to give some input to the nursery staff as they have asked if I can think of anything that might improve the situation.
