Just looking for a bit of advice on how to handle this...but of background my son (8)has happily been at school for the past 3 years (was in most of Covid as I'm a nurse). School have never raised any issues, parents evenings always fine no issue. He's not a genius but doesn't struggle.
He has a childminder and also regularly goes holiday clubs with no issues with behaviour.
All of a sudden (the last month or two) I'm getting phone calls from school saying he's been disruptive and getting angry in class. There has also been an incident where he's got so angry he's threatened to throw a pair of scissors at a class mate 😳. There has also been a fight in the playground involving him (& other kids)
My son does have a temper and is definitely no angel but I've never experienced anything like this!
My childminder (who picks him up from school) will message me sometimes to say he's come out in tears. I've asked her about his behaviour at her house and she says he's absolutely fine and she never has any issues.
He's been put on a points system at school (was going well but has dipped this week), I've taken away his iPad.
I'm at a loss, he just thinks the teacher is mean to him and doesn't like him.
I should add he does have friends but I have worried he's never fully found his crew.
Any experienced similar?! How do I help him?
