Following on from my thread re aggressive incident on Wed. I have been called aside by DS's teacher today she said that he had been cheeky to her (wouldnt come out of the sandpit and then had a tantrum). Also 'wacked' his friend around the head with his cardigan the zip of which caught his mate on the head.
Teacher said that he was reprimanded but doesn't seem to be all that sorry.
Speaking to his mate's mum it appears that this was just a bit of unfotunate horseplay.
The teacher's aide tends to talk up these sort of incidents (as I have noted when DS has been on the other end of it). So I am beginning to find it hard to get it in perspective. Wondering if he is not understanding why he needs to be sorry because he did not mean to hurt his friend in the first place.
More concerned about the cheekiness, but his baby sister has been ill this week and not sleeping well possibly waking DS up in the night. He tends not to cope well when he is tired.
Anyway he did not go to the park after school as a punishment and had no tv. He was also made very aware that I was annoyed with him. Have parents evening next week and I would like to get to grips with all this. Is the school over reacting? Any suggestions on how to go forward with helping him, or should I just see this as an unfortunate week?
