[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is the perfect example of why modern parents suck. I would be horrified if my child were disruptive to the class and asking the teacher what I could do to help improve this situation. Instead of thinking about the teacher and all of the classmates who have had their learning disturbed, OP is thinking about her son’s feelings only. Maybe if you had disciplined your small prince, which you probably avoided doing out of fear of “crushing his spirit” or some nonsense, the teacher wouldn’t have to discipline for you. [/quote]

DS5 is in kindergarten and has had behavior issues off and on throughout preschool. He had a perfect year in Pre-K, but started showing the same rough, disruptive behavior towards the end of this past summer. We got him set up with a pediatric counselor and it’s been a wonderful help for him. Ultimately, we work with his teacher and keep in constant touch about any bad behavior. His teacher even has the final say over whether he has earned his Friday ice cream. I couldn’t imagine pushing back against the teacher when I know darn well how he can be. He is also at a desk separate from his peers, but it has helped immensely, and I wouldn’t think of changing it.

OP-I truly know that feeling of being the parent of the “problem child.” At first, you almost don’t want to believe it’s as bad as people are saying. But when multiple teachers/people are saying it, it’s time to push past the fear and embrace getting him whatever help might be necessary, even if it means separating him from his classmates. My DS is truly a kind, loving kid, but he still has to learn what behavior is acceptable and what’s not. I’d rather him learn that when he’s 5, then when he’s 15. [/quote]
