Hi. I’m feeling very down about my son’s behaviour at school. He is a lovely kid, I’d describe him as bouncy, busy and bright. But he gets silly and over excited and involved in rough play at playtimes. I often get approached by the teacher at the end of the day to say something has happened- another boy has been hit or kicked. It only happens with the boys he’s playing with, he isn’t targeting someone who isn’t involved in the game. The teacher said yesterday that he had put his hands round someone’s throat which I was just mortified by- he’s never done that before and it isn’t something he’s seen at home. She said that the other boys parents were upset because things had happened with their son before. I’m so embarrassed. I feel like I try so hard to be a good mum but I’m failing. I don’t know why he’s doing it- is this a stage? The rough play? Does anyone have any ideas for how to help him? I’ve tried talking to him/getting cross/reward charts… I just don’t want him to get a name/reputation for being the naughty kid and I want him to have a positive time at school rather than constant telling a off. He’s not like it at home 😩. Thank you x
