[QUOTE="Malika, post: 415425, member: 11227"] I really empathise with your frustration about what the school is saying to you... Seems to show real lack of understanding for the best way to approach "difficult" behaviour. In my very limited knowledge of all this - I am so new to it - I have found what makes most sense to me is the kind of compassion shown in books like "The Explosive Child". Ross Greene describes these children as simply unable to express themselves in more socially acceptable, skilful and mature ways. So you have to try to teach them the skills - admittedly a very tough job. That has to be right... so getting cross and punishing the explosions just doesn't work and is actually, again in my limited experience, counter-productive. Alas, I don't know what the answer to the frustration is. My son, aged just four, gets on basically fine in school but I am absolutely sure that this is because it is an untypical environment - a tiny establishment, with five others in his class... As his teacher says, in a "normal" class size he would be forever being scolded and they simply wouldn't have the time or willingness to give him all the individual attention they do... For what little it is worth, I do send you my warmest wishes and hopes that constructive solutions can be found for your son. [/QUOTE]
