DD is in Yr 2 and is one of the youngest in her year. Last year we had repeated incidents of bad behaviour, and we agreed with her teacher that she should be placed on a 'behaviour book' where any incidents (good or bad) would be noted and we would do the same at home. A way of ensuring we were being consistent. This appeared to help and when this school year started she seemed much better - inc the feedback at parents evening last term.
She seems happy at school, has friends and academically is one of the strongest performers in the class according to the teacher. The problem seems to be around lack of control (i.e her not being in control.) Today a piece of work went slightly wrong and she wasnt given another bit of paper to start again on because it was only a minor error, and they were working on special/expensive paper. This provoked a real meltdown. This was resolved (teacher moved her to quiet area until she had cooled down) and then 10 minutes later she tried to borrow money from a friend to pay for a an additional tuck shop purchase and was told that borrowing wasnt allowed. She had a real screaming fit, so much so that she scared the other children and had to be removed from the classroom and taken to the head teachers office to calm down.
There has never been any violence involved (thankfully) and I think the teacher is trying to deal as best she can given that there are 25 other 6/7 year olds to deal with. She seems genuinely fond of DD and talks about her bright and funny she is and how amazed she is by her reading/writing etc. I am a bit of a loss about what we can do at home to try and stop this happening at school. I am worried that she will get a reputation for this behaviour - and that eventually other children wont want to associate with her. Plus the general unacceptable behaviour and disruption she causes.
Any help gratefully received.
