My DS has just started Y2 and seems to be getting into trouble every day; not putting his hand up, fighting in the playground, other silly things he should know better than to do and blatantly naughty things that I'd never imagine he would do. On Friday I was sent to collect him from head of years' room as he had been naughty and as a result missed all his playtimes and 'golden time' and had to stay in her room.
My DS is a wonderful, bright boy but has always been a bit over-active and lacks self control, gets into an over excited frenzy and also plays the clown with his peers. I was worried about how he would get on when he started in Reception but until now, his teachers have loved him in spite of his over activeness etc..
I feel really sad for him, he doesn't seem happy and told his grandpa today, when talking about being in Y2; "Everything I do is wrong.". He wet the bed the last 2 nights as well which is something he occasionally does but never 2 nights in a row before.
We had a tough summer holiday with him. Lots of sibling rivalry going on with his brother (age3) and a new baby (3 months). I am trying to focus on the positive but also set firm boundaries but it seems I'm always telling him off.
How can I help him? NB My DH thinks I am hormonal and getting things out of proportion and I DO always worry about my DS and have done since he was born.
