My sons 4, 5 in the new year and has just started reception. He went to the school nursery for 2 years so is used to being around other kids.
Twice now since he started the teacher has said he's not been kind at school, he's been hitting, pushing, being a wind up etc to his classmates.
He is a handful, doesn't listen most of the time and it's in his nature to be a wind up sometimes, but when in nursery they never said he was hitting kids etc, he'd have his moments of anger but nothing crazy. I do suspect ADHD and have started the process of trying to get diagnosed.
I just don't know how to deal with it, Ive sat and talked to him about his behaviour, how it's bad and he needs to make better choices and be nice, use kind hands etc and he agrees, and I've told him he can't go to the park or play roblox until he starts behaving and being nice at school and home. (those are his two favourite things to do at the moment)
But then 5 minutes later he asks to do these things and starts screaming when I say no, like he's forgotten everything I've said /didn't listen or understand in the first place! Hes asking me and his dad every 5 minutes even though he knows the answer is no.
I'm so frustrated I don't know how to deal with it.
He absolutely loves school and is so excited to go in everyday so I don't understand why he's acting this way when he's there. He generally doesn't hit at home unless a sibling hits him first or he's extremely wound up/angry or upset but it's rare.
Anyone been through this and managed to stop the behaviour? I'm so worried that they are going to put him on a reduced timetable and that he'll end up with no friends
I just knew him starting full time school would be such an awful stressful experience 😔
