[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your son sounds like mine--also a young kindergartner who is smart but has impulse control issues. I've gotten called several times regarding him hitting classmates--problems tend to be at school rather than before/after care. He's also somewhat rigid. Our pediatrician said that all this behavior is very normal for a five year old boy, and that while some of it would be a concern if he was older, she's not concerned and just feels he needs some time. We're doing a lot of talking about not hitting and what to do when he's frustrated, he has a behavior chart and has seen the guidance counselor at school. And we wait.[/quote] This is OP - Thanks for this. I think we're in the same place. Is the behavior chart at school, or do you do it at home based on reports from the school? If we did it at home, I'm wondering if it would truly extinguish the behavior because I think I'm only getting reports of the most egregious incidents.[/quote]
