About once a week (on average) there will be some kind of "incident" at preschool where DS has hit/pushed/pulled the hair of another child. I am struggling with the best way to respond in order to try and reduce this. The staff always ask me to discuss behaviour with him at home but he obvously enjoys the attention his poor behaviour generates so am conflicted as to the best approach. The days when this happens I will greet him as usual and before I've had time to speak to the staff he will immediately trot out with something along the lines of "Earlier I hit/pushed/kicked . That wasn't very good was it? I did it because I wanted the and that the reason why I did it." Talking about it afterwards just seems give attention to the behaviour (which he likes) and he appears utterley unbothered by any punishment we try and implement. We give lots of attention at home and play with him/read to him etc. and he's generally fine when he's getting to choose the type of play he does but getting him to do simple tasks like getting dressed, putting his own coat on etc. is a daily battle. Preschool have made a big effort recently to try and get him to put his coat/hat/gloves on at the same time as the other children so he can go outside on time (which he loves) but he just doesn't seem to be getting any better at this! It's obviously so much easier to do it for him but I'm trying really hard to persist with insisting he does it himself, but frequently question whether it is worth it!
