My DS's behaviour has been really bad at school the last couple of weeks - he has been slighty worse at home too - more hyper. loud etc... how do I know when he cannot help this and when he is playing up - we just don't know what to do and his grandparents who mind him while we are at work are at the end of their tether - I started a jar where he gets 10p for each star and for good behaviour but he was so bad in school I couldn't give him any - he did get ready himself this morning so I give him 10p to put in the jar and he was really excited and said he was going to try really hard at school as he wants a power ranger at the weekend so I thought OK this could be the turning point but today at school he didn't even get a chart cause his behaviour was so bad.
Should we be punishing him for his behaviour at school - or ignoring it - I don't know if he is playing up cause he is not getting enough positive praise or what? Any idea's ?
