To give some history DS1 (4.5 years) has always been a what you would call an "aggressive child". Right from the start I dreaded taking him to toddler groups, soft play etc because I could guarantee some other poor child would be hit, pushed etc. Things did improve at preschool and I felt over the summer holidays before he started primary school he had more or less stopped any aggressive behaviour. However, this has all completely gone to pot and his behaviour has deteriorated rapidly over the last few months since starting school full time.
At present i am being called over by the teacher on an almost daily basis because he has been aggressive towards other children. His latest one seems to be stratching faces but frankly you name it he has done it. Whats worrying the teacher (and myself) is that he doesnt seem to have any concept of what he does or that its wrong. He's been sent to sit out the Heads office a couple of times but even this hasnt registered with him. We are now at a stage where he is to have no playtime on his own but instead will walk around the playground hand-holding so he is supervised.
The teacher quite rightly keeps saying she wants to arrange a meeting with the schools SENCO but apparently the SENCO doesnt work full time so we are still trying to find a suitable date and time.
If you were in my situation would you bypass the school and go straight to the GP and explain about the behavioural issues or wait and see what the school has to say first?
Sorry this is a bit rambly I am feeling quite shell shocked at the moment that this is happening....
