School

NAS75090

My son (6) really struggles going into school and will be extremely disruptive - hitting, kicking and screaming. He is well behaved once settled. I am having trouble getting him to understand his actions, he is always so honest about things that have happened but in these circumstances he says he “didn’t do anything” “didn’t touch them” etc - he really seems to not be connected to his actions but I don’t know how to get school to understand this. They see it as a behavioural issue and that he is able to just click out of it.

  • Maybe just ask your son what he has trouble with while at school, what he doesn't like, and what kind of things happened to him, which makes the child feel understood. Sometimes a child's form of communication is to act out what they're feeling, because they might think that words don't help them, but acting out will. So maybe try to get him to talk about what upsets him, and then empathize with his perspective, and see if that helps.
