Need some help Ladies....DS(5) has started hitting and kicking other kids at school and daycare. And its serious because he attends a private school and they have a low tolerance for this kind of thing. Things have been kinda crazy the last few months between my divorce and DD ADHD Diagnosis and having to focus on that. So I don't know if he's just acting out because of that or what. I've started doing a star chart where if he behaves he can get something out of the treasure box on a daily basis but not sure if that will work or not. He's been talked to, stood in the corner, had things taken away that he wants. When talking to him yesterday after the latest issue I told him I was very disappointed in him and he started to cry. It was the first time that I'd seen a reaction out of him since this started. :-( So please ladies help me with some ideas that might help me get this under control.

Have you asked him why he`s hitting the kids? What was his answer?
I have read an article in a child&baby magazine saying that usually kids are being naughty and disobey when they want to attract attention to themselves.
If you ask why he just shrugs his shoulders and says I don't know. If you ask if he's mad at someone he will say yes but then says I don't know if you ask who.
I am not one to help i'm sorry :( my yougest hits her older sister....she is getting better but i have done everything that you have done to, so i am kinda looking for new ideas to. Good Luck and i hope that you can find something that works for your son! :) HUGS

What does the teacher have to say about it? Is it a certain child he is hitting or kicking? Is it during a certain time of day? I would talk more to the teacher about this and see if she has some insight, if you haven't already. I do understand what you are going through, happens a lot with my 3 boys, but, mostly at home and this is the only form of communication, when they are mad at each other. More verbal expression needs to be used by him.....start giving him a reward sticker or reward if he can tell you with his words how he is feeling, it will get him talking to you and it will also help resolve the issues in school. You may find out that someone is bullying him and he is defending himself. Encourage him to talk about his feelings. Good luck and hope it gets better.
