Hi all
5 1/2 year old son is an angel at school, polite, listens, behaves etc and a gem.
He loves routine (patterns as he calls it). School clothes have to be in the correct order in his draw, hair has to be done before teeth, we mustn't change his breakfast without telling him and he won't drink his drink until his sister finishes for a race. Every morning he asks if we can go a certain way to school and have to play the same game all the way to school.
After school he is in aggressive mode towards his sister so I send him straight to get changed. He comes down more often than not in a fowl mood, shouting (his voice is constantly on loud), reading his school books is mission impossible and then the complaints, shouting continues to bedtime.
Taking away toys means nothing, the 'thinking' spot has no effect, take away priviledges, he may cry for 2 minutes but is then over it. I am very consistent.
Saturdays are our getting used to being home day and very stressfull as the smallest thing will set him off wrong for the day.
He eats a varied range of foods however 'slimy foods' eggs, mushrooms, onions are off the cards, he will take one bite and vomit.
Yet on a holiday he is much more relaxed with his sister but still very routine based. Everything has to be on his terms, he constatly talks over everyone. Things have to be done specific ways if not he is sure to let us know.
Is this "normal" reception behaviour?
