[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the praise for being good. Talk in language that emphasizes what he can do ("we use kind words") rather than what he cannot do ("don't call people stupid"). You can also give him words for things when he's tired "I wonder if scooting right home after a long day at school seems SO LONG and SO TIRING. Should we sit under this tree for a bit and catch up before we scoot home?" Or sympathize wi H home "I know it is hard to share toys. You really like Tom's truck and it is hard to give it up. But let's be sure we take good care of it so Tom can have his turn and then you have another turn." And then sympathize/praise when he hands it over.

Also, don't underestimate the scariness of the end of the school year. They have finally gotten used to K with teacher X and now every eon is talking about what is expected in 1st grade with some nameless, faceless scary teacher who takes no nonsense. Total disaster for one of my kids, who really had to be convinced by her teacher that 1st grade started with a review of K and that she would be fine![/quote]
