[quote=Anonymous]Also try a DRINK at pick-up. Maybe a healthy smoothie. My K was thirsty (particularly this hot time of year) and had low blood sugar. Sucking on a straw is soothing and will boost blood sugar fast. When he is rude, I would try not escalating with punishment immediately. If he calls you stupid, tell him that hurts your feelings and is unkind. That may be enough to snap him back into being your considerate kind child. I also had success with a little reverse psychology at that age. I'd say "Ohh, you don't seem like your kind self, here's a drink that I hope helps you find your manners." Stay calm, let him know his behavior is out of line and support him if he's hungry and tired. Depends on the kid, but my kid would escalate like you describe. He needed coaching to help him control his emotions appropriately. Punishment didn't teach him those skills . . .[/quote]
