My five year old son is a lively healthy boy who has been in his first year at reception since September. He was showing signs of aggression and concentration problems/lack of co-operation in his nursery before he went to school but it has become more obvious there.
The class is only 21 pupils and there is a classroom assistant and some other volunteers too. The teacher is young but has 4 years experience.
I have been repeatedly called to meetings on Friday perhaps totalling 12 times now finally they are having his behaviour assessed by a behaviour support worker.
Apparently Joshua hits other children, won't sit still long, doesn't always wish to concentrate on activities, although he is bright he seems to get bored. He has also recently taken to swearing in class.
I do not see much of this behaviour at home, we live alone but he does see his dad regularly.
I took Joshua to a homoeopath but his behaviour got worse. I am now trying 'SleepTalk' but this isn't working.
Will the school get to the bottom of this? I do not think he has ADHD but possibly something quite mild however they don't assess him this age or something. He goes to sleep ok and sleeps through. However sometimes his traits show a little of ADHD but not full on shall we say.
I am at my wits end with fruitless talks with the school any suggestions? Any similar experiences anybody could share? Will he grow out of it or will it always need keeping an eye on any ideas?
Thank you in desperation!
