hi. I could really do with some advice on this. ds2 has just started in reception at an independent school. He's previously been to nursery and when there was initially selectively mute and as a result would express himself with outbursts of temper. They managed to deal with him over nearly 3 years and eventually he was talking freely and the tantrums had diminished a lot. Now he's started somewhere new and doesn't know anybody it's obviously a very hard situation for him. He is an anxious little boy and finds it incredibly hard to get to know other children. So in the first 2 weeks he had 2 quite bad outbursts. And yes they were bad (throwing, standing on tables etc) and he needed restraining by the class teacher. However, in his defence he was in a new place with full days AND sickening for a bad viral croup the 2nd time. PLUS he'd made loads of progress in interacting and settling down. Anyway, we have been asked to remove him from school for the forseeable future until we can see a paediatrician and get his behaviour sorted. But keeping him away is not going to help him and dh and I feel they should support us and come to a compromise (eg mornings only and me on call) but they don't seem too willing. Another option for us to take him to one of the local village schools (very small) but that does mean another change although he does know 2 boys there already. It's complicated by the fact ds1 is now there in yr2 (new school for him too) and is settling well. HELP!!
