What can I do to help DS keep his temper?
DS,just 5 is in a very large reception class and I'm told his teacher won't be around for a while to talk to.
His general behavior is very good but there have been a few serious incidents since Christmas with one DC he's bitten a few times. Schools sanctions have kicked in and we've left him in no doubt he did wrong. At home we've also talked through and acted out better ways of dealing with situations some of which he did start using.
The staff relating the incidents have also mention in passing this DC provoking DS a few times all day and we've asked they are kept an eye on them and told DS to play with others but this has had very short term limited effect. It's also at times when he not at his best with issue I've made the school aware of prior to incidents and done as much about as I can.
He's complained since Christmas about this DC. I've done the standard play with others and spoken to pretty much all the staff and been told its all fine apparently the hour long don't want to go to school tantrums are my imagination.
The other DC is nice enough and I think it a bad dynamic though I do worry its low level bullying being ignored triggering this.
The TA tonight dealt with the incident very badly. I'm lucky the other parents are very reasonable. She may have been trying to help but it came across as it's my entire fault.
Apparently its on me to stamp this behavior out which I would love to do but how? His behavior when with me and rest of family is great on rare occasions is not is else dealt immediately and soon is and I'm not at school so how do I stop this?
Can I/ should I ask for them to be put in different classes next year when they mix anyway? Do I leave it and hope for better with a different teacher next year? Should I request a specific meeting with teacher or head or put my concerns in writing as feel a lot of concerns have been brushed away this year. What else can I do to help DS keep his temper?
