[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure your child is getting a good amount of uninterrupted sleep appropriate to their age. Watch their diet and limit added sugars and too many processed foods. Limit the screens if you do them and definitely have screeen breaks. Check if there is any stress in your life that they are feeding off. This sets up a good baseline so you don't have to unnecessarily deal with bad behavior due to tiredness etc. It's not fair to them.
Next for things that happen at school, is the staff asking you to do something or do they have it under control? When does it happen? During some sort of transition? It's not unusual for kids that age to strike out in frustration. The staff should be able to redirect or you can work with them to find strategies to help your kid handle his big feelings.

Thank you, sleep at night is good but he is barely napping at school which I think must be related to the issues, though we're told some of the behavior is happening in the morning. Diet is good, no more than ~30 minutes of screen time every other day or so. The adjustment to school has been huge but it's been almost a month, and we're also expecting a new baby later this fall. We don't talk about that constantly but it must be on his radar.

The school staff mentioned it, not like they're deeply concerned or going to kick him out, but when we asked for more details they made it sound constant and like he just doesn't listen. Not sure if he is striking out in frustration or thinks he's being playful and just not respecting personal space, possibly a little of both.[/quote]
