Hi
I am looking for some advice as I have no idea what to do for the best.
My son is on his 2nd week of full days. He's an August baby. Absolutely no issues that I know of at preschool and is generally a lovely little boy.
Last week in the bath I noticed a lot of scratches, marks and a bite on his back. I took photos so I could record it, but decided not to mention to his teacher as I felt it was probably just settling in issues and possible rough play. He's always happy to go school so I thought all was ok.
I got pulled aside earlier this week to say he had bitten someone. I've never known him to bite anyone. On probing it seems that someone was hitting him, so he got scared and tried to frighten them off. We have had lots of discussions about appropriate behaviour, hurting other children etc.
Today his teacher has said that he has been aggressive all afternoon and attacking any child that comes near him. She suggested that he only does mornings for the next few days until half term as it could be tiredness.
I just don't know the best way to approach this. I haven't shouted at him, just explained calmly that as there was naughty behaviour at school today he is going straight ribbed when he gets home. He is now fast asleep. I think there are underlying issues in his relationships with other children for him to basically totally change personality over the course of a week, but obviously his behaviour is the main issue and he needs strategies to be able to deal with other children without hitting. I don't want to come across as someone who thinks their child does no wrong, far from it, but I'm worried he's pegged as a trouble maker already when usually he's such a lovely boy.
Anyway, thank you for reading, all advice welcome!
