He's great at home! Polite, sweet, kind, a bit grumpy occasionally but generally listens well, does what we say, quite mature for his age, county level in a sport and listens well to the coach etc....
At school, every day he comes home saying he's been in trouble for not listening, talking in class, and not doing what the teacher asks.
I have no idea what to do about it. I've asked the teacher and she just says 'oh he's fine' (well why did you put him in time out in another class every day last week if he's 'fine'?)
I've asked if he wants to move school (as all the boys in his class seem to be in trouble constantly and I'm wondering if a change of school, to one with more discipline, and some better behaved friends, would help), but he says he likes it where he is, and part of me thinks he needs to learn to manage in this environment, no matter what the friendships and peer pressure. I've told him if he doesn't start behaving well I WILL move him to another school. I am also trying reward charts etc... We've done role plays, talked about ways to manage things differently etc.. we also have no tablet time in the week now until all the time outs stop. Each night he seems keen to change and try at school the next day, but then comes home and says he's been in time out again.
Its so so hard as he's fine at home (in fact great! I love him to bits and he's such a great kid at home!) I have no control over what happens at school!
Anyone got any suggestions?
