Behaviour problems in reception

[Clare123]

my ds is the youngest in the class. He is very hyper at home and at school. The teacher said she thinks it is because he is very young, but acknowledges his behaviour does stand out to the other kids. (He has lots of silly behaviour that can cause accidents, not listen and general hyperness). Because of his behaviour she said he is not getting the most out of learning and although it's not a problem yet, she wants us to focus on his reading more at home. (he is still on the pink band ORT). She said that she is going to try a few more techniques to help him focus - sticker charts etc and we are going to meet next week.

What else can we do to help? O you think the school should be seeking outside help? Is there anything you can say that might he?

I'm so very worried :-(

www.soundfoundationsbooks.co.uk/ Bear Necessities is a good place to start with reception reading.

Its helping my DS - he was getting upset as he was struggling to get phonics.

I had his hearing tested before he started school, due to his speech ,to be told it was fine now he's been tested at school and they've refer us back.

Got his eyes tested before school to - now wondering if that an issue for him as well. My Ds behavior is very good so his problems tend to be ignored as he is also very shy and quiet - I'm rambling but my point is it can't hurt to get your DC eyes and ears looked at again as perhaps he isn't listening because he can't hear or see properly and his behavior stems from frustration or distraction.
