[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the feedback.  I've been reading, "Parenting the Defiant Child," and it stresses positive discipline as well.  So I just completely stopped punishing at home for his behavior at school.  No more taking away TV and toys and other treats.  Instead, I've focused on asking him to do one nice thing for a friend at school, and to tell me about it when I pick him up.  It's really changed his mood!  His behavior isn't perfect at school, but it is getting better.  I try to focus on his accomplishments and improvements.  We continue to do the reading, role play, and use of appropriate words at home.

Unfortunately, the daycare is not very helpful and they seem very exasperated by his behavior.  At one point, the director told me I have to punish him even harder.  They don't seem to know how to address it at all.  I feel like I'm flying blind on this one.   And the teacher writes me notes about what he's done wrong, most days.  Never anything about what he's done right.   I have a sinking feeling he doesn't get any positive feedback for what he does well.   [/quote]
