Hi all,
I am hitting rock bottom now, I have tried vitamins, read so many books, listened to podcasts, spoken with the Senco etc and my son's behaviour just seems to get worse. He is in a small class and has lots of outside and movement breaks.
DS behaviour is not typical ADHD, it is calculated and isn't continuous so doesn't appear to fit the criteria (but awaiting assessment). He will go out of his way to be unkind to others, pour water in a shoe, pull someone's pants down, tear up a drawing, run outside when he isn’t allowed. He doesn't have tantrums or meltdowns etc, he just sniggers.
Every day I get incident reports and nothing I say or do helps. Rewards like stars, soft play, swimming, extra stories with mummy don't work, neither do punishments. He doesn't have much screen time so have nothing to take away and wont be affecting him and we eat all home cooked (I make my own bread, my husband fishes so our diet it very good).
He is a smart kind interesting boy at home, but at school he is a menace.
I am looking to hear from mums of boys who have experienced this and how they coped, any tips and how their boys are doing now. Respectfully, if you haven't lived it, please don't comment because I have plenty of mum support and Senco support but I have no support from anyone in the trenches and this is my desperate attempt to get it!
I just wish I could home school but that isn't an option as I work.
