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.

  • Is it possible to spend a little time with him after school when everyone has gone home? Being at the "scene of the crime" can help trigger a little more information. You can see if the lights are buzzing or if the walls are overwhelming, perhaps arrange a walk through with just him to show you things. But suggest it will be him giving you a tour, maybe?

    Can you chat with the head and maybe have a sit-down then after? He may need a safe human to escape to and this may be something valuable for him to learn: walking to the head office instead of feeling left to Fix the problem on his own. Perhaps he notices rules being broken or too many things out of order and he just needs a quiet space to focus on the task he's currently doing. 

    It may be the head will only be able to tell him "everyone is a little different and some people enjoy chaos, but you can sit here and read if it helps you focus". Either way, this would create a solution for this age until he is able to communicate better.
