[quote=Anonymous]For Pete's sake, he is 6 years old. How do you feel after a long day at work? Probably tired, maybe hungry? Your 6YO child is probably exhausted and overwhelmed at the end of the school day and maybe also hungry. He is so young that he does not have the words or ability to process what he is feeling - so instead he acts out. Coming down on him right away with punishment is not going to address the root problem. Instead, as others have suggested, have a protein-rich snack for him right when he gets out of school, don't pepper him with questions or conversation on the way home, and do as early a bedtime as you can swing. No screen time at all on school evenings so that he'll sleep better at night. [/quote]
