Long time lurker first time posting, posted here for traffic.
My son is 8 and for the entire school years have been told he’s immature, lacks concentration and can be disruptive. I’ve always put it down to he’s the youngest in the class. But punished him for his behaviour and we would have some good days but the bad days would come again. Now finally a teacher has put in place a behaviour specialist who has come to observe the class and has picked up on ds1 and has said he needs a plan in place to help him with getting him to do his work. Teacher has said he is not naughty but is disruptive and has to be told a few times what he has to do before it sinks in, he doesn’t have dyslexia as I do and don’t see him struggling as I did. He is a bright child and can do the work it’s just getting him to sit and concentrate.
Now at home I’ve noticed ds1 behaviour is getting worse. He doesn’t listen to anything and needs to told countless time, he is also too rough with ds2 who is 19 months and even when he’s crying he doesn’t stop, he has never hurt ds2. I’m sure he also has some sensory issues, he won’t wear certain clothes for the way they feel, asking him to wear jeans just results in a major meltdown, he’s a fussy eater and will not touch a plate that has something on it he won’t eat, ds2 touched his plate with his spoon and he went mental and then last night there some how was about 6 grains of rice on his plate and he totally freaked out shouting he can’t eat the rest of his food now.
Sorry for the long post, I’m a mother who just wants some help and advice, I am aware I need to see our gp
