[quote=Anonymous]OP, your child is hitting, biting, poking, licking people.  This is not typical behavior and he is clearly very unhappy.  That is the problem.  The problem is not the teachers (yeah, they shouldn't be suggesting diagnoses, I agree, but it seems like they want you to get him help) or the specialists.  Again, there are no villains here, just people trying to help.

Who knows what the problem is, but the problem is serious.  It may be that the school is too rigid for him, but you need to find out why so you can perhaps get a better place for him.

While it seems true that your DC has been labeled a problem, it also seems true that he IS a problem.  This is an aggressive, unhappy child and you better believe that the other parents view him with trepidation and the teachers are frustrated with how much work it is to keep him in line and from hurting the other children.

A bite is actually a serious medical issue and kids who are bitten by other children often have to take a round of high powered antibiotics if the bite draws blood.  Preschools will generally kick children out who do this more than once.  You are fortunate that the teachers are working with you to try to resolve his issues rather than showing you the door.  If his behavior continues in this manner, you can expect other parents to lobby the school to do something about him.

Why you are so resistant to finding the cause and the solution to this problem is confusing to me.  Everyone is wrong and out to get you and doing terrible things to you and your child while meanwhile you have a young son who is clearly suffering.  That is the issue.  Focus on that and getting him some help.[/quote]
