ds (aged 9) is having huge problems at school. over the last two weeks he has been involved in several incidents where he has lost his temper and hit/kicked/lashed out at another child. He knows that this is absolutely unacceptable, but doesn't seem to stop it.
Does anyone have any advice on techniques we can use to get him to walk away rather than lash out? It is getting to the stage that other parents are starting to complain about him. are there specialists that we can speak to about anger management techniques?
For next week he is going to spend his time away from the other children at lunchtime, but this can only be temporary, and also there are other flash points like breaks, transfers between lessons etc.
As a connected issue, the children in his year have all been taken to one side and told about him (as they were getting aware how easy it was to wind him up). I'm not sure how I feel about this (I wasn't consulted), and also am wondering whether the teasing incidents have increased since this happened.
This is a private school, so we have no statement etc. and also I presume that it will be easier to kick ds out if this behaviour continues.
We have a meeting with the teachers next week, and it would be helpful if we could come up with some solutions.
Thanks
