Hi all,
Just after some advice really.
My child is on the SEN register for his behaviour, has his education plan, sees his counsellor weekly at his current school and we're currently waiting for the Ed Psych to do a second visit and report.
I've spoke to his teacher tonight for a bit of a catch up on how he's getting on school wise, and I'm shocked tbh.
My little one is 6 and currently in year 2 at mainstream and always had challenging behaviour. At first they said 'boundary issues' then realised even when all boundaries are in place he will just point blank refuse. Positive reinforcement doesn't work, taking away something he enjoys does work, not going on outings etc.
Tonight I got told by school he just can't make friends - he has the seeds of friendships then when someone goes near him he'll lash out and hit or kick. He refuses To go into school we have to chase him round the yard. He'll point blank refuse what teachers tell him to do - stop sitting on the desk, leave the class etc. There's times he's kicked off and because he's a danger they've had to take the children out until he calms down because he won't leave.
He was meant to sing carols today at church and refused To leave the school and lashed out at pupils teachers so spent the afternoon with the headteacher.
ATM they say he's no where near being statements, but AIBU to think this might be the best option? I feel awful about the other pupils getting their education disturbed and being kicked/hit. Maybe at a special needs school he could find close friends he could relate to? Like I say he's 6 at the minute, what happens when he grows and gets too big for mainstream teachers to restrain?
He was previously struggling with school work and quite behind but seems to have caught up with his reading and writing, they aren't concerned about this ATM. His behaviour at home isn't much better as he lashes out at his older brother when he doesn't get his own way.
I'm just at a loss and so worried he may actually harm someone soon
