[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is the child, OP? A three or four year old being a holy terror, not being able to go out to eat, hitting, is unfortunate but not out of the realm of normal. But that isn't average behavior for a 6 year old, and if you child is school age (even preschool) I think its time to talk to the teachers and see what is up. Maybe your kid needs some help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. If so, spanking really won't help, because it doesn't teach those things. Your kid can't exercise control he doesn't yet have. So my first step in your case wouldn't be to decide on how to punish, but to figure out what is going on with your guy. Start with the pediatrician and the teachers.[/quote]

3 and it was the teachers that declared it a problem. I thought this was how all 3 year olds behave-op[/quote]

Is he like this at home? How do you handle?[/quote]

On occasion. But rarely. Bad behaviors they say were nipped immediately at home. As the year has progressed no behaviors )the hitting )
started. This is rare at home and much more frequent at school (3-5 days a week) .not acceptable.-op[/quote]

How does the teacher solve the problem when it arises at school?[/quote]

Wants him out. Separates him from class as often as possible. For safety reasons. Therapist believes this is not the approach. Teacher insists it is for safety of others.[/quote]

OP, could you please expand on "wants him out"? I think a time-out is fine when given to send the clear message that hitting is not acceptable. But if "wants him out" means she wants him out of the school, well... that's OTT, IMO.

Does she catches him doing things right? Does she praises him and rewards him when he's nice to other children?

What does the therapist suggests?[/quote]
