Let me start by saying that I love my son. He does occasionally play up at home but is really quite a sweet boy. He started preschool 5 3-hr sessions a week at the beginning of September after 10 months of nothing as we moved and couldn't get him in anywhere.
The first week went ok. Week 2 he cried that he wanted to stay home 2 or 3 times but seemed to be ok. Then he had one day where he bit someone. Next day he scratched someone.
Now they tell me he refuses to sit down for register, his key worker has to spend all day with him as he wont ever do anything he's told and the other kids are suffering as a result. To top it all, today apparently,an hour before home time he kicked everyone, pulled someone's hair, threw a box of scissors, emptied every box of toys, emptied the tissue box and for a finale locked himself (and some poor girl who needed a wee) in the toilets.
The school is very much praise not punish so has just spent the whole time following him around saying please don't...which seems to wind him up more.#
I am at my wits end. I use the naughty step which seems to work quite well for him but they will not do anything except tell him to please not do these things.
He seems very tired, which I'm sure he is...and it is a big change...but ffs. WHAT DO I DO????
