[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren't a bulky at 3. They are acting inappropriately at 3.

Does the teacher know "why" he's doing it? Wants a toy? Had a toy taken away? Something else?  They need to look at the root cause.  If it's anger or frustration, he needs to be taught how to handle that better. And it could take awhile. It sounds like you guys react a bit in anger and frustration, so it is understandable (although not acceptable) that your son does too. I'm not trying to be mean. I have dealt with this myself and as I taught my son better ways to manage anger, I learned better ways myself.

I'd find out if there is a trigger at school. And how the school will approach it.

At home, I'd get some picture books on how to treat friends and manage anger. And  I'd work on keeping calm yourself. I found 1,2,3 Magic very helpful in that it gave "me" a chance to cool down before giving consequences.

There is a series of picture books called Learning to Get Along, and my son really liked those.  Some titles
Talk and Work it Out
Share and Take Turns
Know and Follow Rules
Cool Down and Work Through Anger
Words are Not for Hurting

Thanks, I appreciate it. You are definitely not being mean, I absolutely think he is mirroring some of our own behaviors and it's sad and shameful. I will be getting some of those books, thanks![/quote]
