[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 307563, member: 7916"] Hi, MidWest Mom has given you a lot of good advice. I just wanted to add that the start of kindergarten and the new structure/demands often brings out the difficult child in kids. Has your school convened a Student Study Team (SST), or whatever the comparable group is called where you live? That is the first step towards getting a school evaluation, an IEP, and other supports in the classroom (like an aide). If you son is seriously overwhelmed by the setting, as it sounds he is, you might want to advocate for an aide even before in-school and/or outside testing is completed (This worked for us). Has the teacher mentioned in what context the difficult behaviors occur? Are there clear triggers for his outbursts, e.g. singing during circle time, transitioning between stations, coming in from recess? I am thinking there could be a sensory component in the classroom, such as too much noise. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
