[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not pick your son up from school if he acts out. That is likely a reward for him.

I would use the same tactic at school that you are using at home. If it is time out, then he gets a time out at school also.

I would also use a reward/behavior chart while he is at school. He gets a token for going to school, participating in each activity he is supposed to that day (art, circle, music etc), using gentle hands, gentle feet and for using his words. If he gets all of his tokens, he gets whatever it is he is working for that day.

Each day before drop off go through the rules for school. Use gentle hands, use gentle feet, use all your words etc.

Get on the waitlist now for a developmental pediatrician.

I would also meet with the teachers and see if there is a particular time of day these incidents occur (right before snack - he might be super hungry), or during transitions. I would try to determine if there is a trigger so you can teach him the appropriate response to that trigger. [/quote]

Re: the picking him up - it may well be serving as a reward, but my thought was to try to stop what's happening at school. I don't want him to hurt other kids.

We've tried the behavior chart, both at school and at home, and we do the rules for school. There doesn't seem to be a single clear trigger, though transitions seems to be a common one - but it is not the only one.

I think part of the problem is what's happening at school when he has an incident - I don't think the teacher does react in the same way we do at home and while we've had multiple meetings to get on the same page, I think she at the very least talks more than we do at home. We try to keep things to a simple "we don't do x, I can't let you do x, etc." kind of thing.

I appreciate everyone's feedback - I've been replying but not saying I'm the OP. I really appreciate all of your feedback and advice, minus the vote for threatening and hitting him. [/quote]

You are doing a great job!! All of the tactics are hard to implement if the teacher is not on the same page 100%.. I had the little boy that hit and kicked also so just wanted to tell you to hang in there. :) [/quote]

Thank you. Everyone has been really helpful - I think this is the best advice I've ever read on DCUM.[/quote]
