hes getting sent home... again. i need help...*update*

[DamiensMommy1]

My ds.. who is 6 and in the first grade has really had problems ever since he started school. In prek it started as being mean and not getting along with other kids... in kindergarten it was that plus talking, nit seemed to get down to a minimal each year.

This year his talking is out of control! His school literally wants to send him home once a week... or every other week. Its gotten to the point our employers are both fed up with us having to leave. I have no idea what to do.

We've spanked... we do behavior charts at home AND school. If he honestly tries we've tried rewarding him... NOTHING is
working.

I'm so lost :(


ETA-
were not having problems with bullying any longer, I think hes realized you can't physically touch people that don't want to be touched. I went and talked with the school yesterday, I REFUSED to take him home, I don't see that it helps or hes learning anything @ all if he is just sent home once a week. The principal and I have never got along, she feels like its a parenting issue, that were not trying because we don't care.. but we are. She also informed us that there are no further steps like ISS/ISD and its outrageous for us to think that they could just do that every day, when I was in grade school... there was ISS but apparently this school doesn't do it by choice.

Anywho, I took him back into the same psychologist he had seen before this morning, he reccomended we go to his regular dr, talk with him and do a trial run on some medication. Were gonna go to the psychologist every 2-3 weeks for whatever testing etc that we need to do. He also said he wanted him on an IEP.


can anyone tell me exactly what that is?


** I forgot! Dh and I are so sick of this principal, we are changing schools next year. Its too late 4 a transfer this year, 1st grade everywhere is full

Talk to the school about putting him in ISS for the rest of the day.

[DamiensMommy1]

I just did today. She said she'd talk with the principal about it.

I think you need to work with the school counselor and have him tested for learning problems. You'd be surprised what children will do to hide what they do not understand or can't get a grasp on.

Hes seen 2 psychologists that have said he doesn't need therapy/medication. Hes just a happy talkative little boy.. so I have no idea :(

Have you talked with his doctor about his behavior problems. Sending him home doesn't fix the problem. I hope the school helps you. What does he do when he gets home?

[Livinwith3boys]

instead of abusing your child for misbehaving, perhaps you could find out WHY he misbehaved, and solve that problem.

He was tested in prek, has always been advanced for his age the problem is he doesn't take the tests seriously and would rather talk.

I really don't wanna hear that shit so take it somewhere else. I said we tried spanking along with lots of other things. You just happened to only see the spanking
