[quote=Anonymous]I would hand him a high-protein snack as soon as you pick him up or he gets home. I’d definitely separate the siblings after school. You might try headphones with music with his snack and some books or comic books or graphic novels. I’ve known some kids who did well with being sent to swing for fifteen minutes right after school, if you have a background swing. A trampoline would be the same. Repetitive calming movement. I’d also have a very predictable routine after school, down to the menu for dinner. He doesn’t have the bandwidth to cope with any surprises then. You might ask if he wants a solid hug or if he wants alone time or if he wants you to just sit next to him quietly. Sit down with him and ask him what would help him and why he thinks he is different at school and at home and how you can help. It is possible that the sibling really does drive him crazy and there’s more there than you know about. Schools are very predictable and some kids need that. [/quote]
