[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has the response been when you've suggested this? My guess is it may be a supervision issue - if your child sits out the remainder of recess, one of the teachers may need to sit with him the entire time, which means there's one less person to watch all of the other kids. Can you give a consequence at home? I know that made a difference when our daughter was going through a biting phase at two and a half - you bite your friends, we don't play Legos at home that afternoon. [/quote]

Thanks.  Their response is that it's not "necessary" to make him miss all of recess, and yes, thinking about it, it could be a supervision issue, which I completely understand.  I suggested that they call me if he hits and I will immediately pick him up and take him home and it will NOT be pleasant (no TV, toys, outdoor play the rest of the day, and most likely sitting in the kitchen for at least an hour with nothing to do).  My thought behind that was that it would be more immediate, and it's much easier for me to watch one kid 100% of the time than it is for them.  They nixed that, and said taking him home would be rewarding him.

Yes, I have been giving consequences at home, but don't know if they are immediate enough to be effective.

I've started a reward system this week, which I generally dislike.  He should just be good.  But I can't tolerate the hitting.  I am hoping this at least breaks him of his habit and helps give him the strength/self-control to see he "can" handle the situation differently.
