WWUD as a punishment if your DS hurt his teacher and reduced her to tears and had generally been Not Listening to Adults?

I'm so cross.

I need a punishment that will help him to rein in this apaling behaviour and start bloody well listening to the adults at school.

Please help me by telling me what you would do?

I am fed up.

Dunno, but I'm Mrs Bolshieknickers at the moment.
Londonone can dish it out, so I'm sure she can take it, she's a very strong-minded poster with very clear opinions.
Not sure what sort of teacher she is, supply, part-time or full time, or whether she's teaching at the moment.
Or whether she has children.
Ah, such a Brave New World over here.

it is rather isnt it! heres the contrast for you...on rk apparently my aura is green! (i have a foot in both camps which is rather surreal!) have to say tho that as the mother of my very own aspie we could do with a few more like you. shall we hug now or would that finish us on MN forever do you think?

You know, the weird thing was that I was posting with my teacher hat on, not my mother of an Aspie.
At the moment, if I had a chip on my shoulder I'd probably scoff it. I'm in report mode frenzy and only Ben and Jerry are going to get me through it.
Although I now feel the need to discover thee colour of my aura, and what that means.
Do you think if I lack empathy they're going to make me hand back my special mentoring hat with the extra fluffy bits on? Too cruel and harsh to guide NQTs into their future?

Can he write stories?

What if you sat with him and helped him to write a story about someone who was hurt by someone else, how that felt and what the person who had done it felt, what happened to them and how they made amends? Maybe get him to do illustrations to go with it?

Really get him thinking about the situation and the feelings as a story (but really it's about what he did) without it being you sitting down and giving him a big speech which may or may not sink in.

nah goblin....eat ya ben and jerrys and dont worry. your obviously expending some serious energy on your reports! (or you could just be really truthful about the little darlings! then they might tell you to hand back the fluffy hat!)

sorry overmydeadbody - why is there no PM system on here! back to you -

and hecatestwopenceworth - thats very like the idea behind Social Stories by Carol Gray - overmydeadbody - that might be worth a google. they are very good for situations like yours and if you want to teach how to handle something that may come up again.

pickyvic · 19/06/2009 21:10

actually i have no idea why i thought this but i thought i was in special needs....really sorry! social stories may not work then just ignore me....ive been lurking on special needs for too long! just realised again that he is only 6...think they all have their moments at 6 but i cant imagine why the teacher would cry because of him, yes if he was 15 and 12 stone - maybe she had something else going on? maybe that was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak.

Yes. I use social stories for my two (autistic) and they use them at school as well.

Well as you were wondering Goblin, I have been both full time and supply in both mainstream and BESD and now am an LEA consultant on BESD and Learning from EY to Secondary! I stand by my point snd would not suggest you home educate!
