Ds is 5, after a meeting with his headteacher and teacher it is clear they have issues with this part of his behaviour.
Academically there are no issues. The concerns they have are of a social nature. For example, he leads really good games at playtime (tig/simon says etc) this works when he is leader. If someone challenges him if they want to be in charge he will thump them.
He also appears not to listen in class, chats to his friends and stares out of the window, yet when she questions him he always has the correct answer. Also if somone has something he wants and he can't get it he will ask a friend to get it, they snatch it then they are in trouble. So they alos are worrying about him 'manipulating' others.
So the upshot is, if he is first in line, in cgarge and winnning all is well. If not it all goes a bit Pete Tong......
Any thoughts, stratergies much appreciated.
Thanks.
