[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 335077, member: 1991"] Welcome. Help is here. Don't punish at home for what happens at school. And frankly, I would avoid punishing for what she can't help. They can help it but only to a small extent, and that extent varies according to how busy or stressful their day is. The more they have to deal with, the less these kids can cope. What I suggest you do with communication - set up regular emails between you and the teacher. Then take these files and put them into a single text file/diary. Try to keep these communications supportive of the teacher as well as helpful for your child. If you suspect your child could have a bad day coming up (maybe lack of sleep the night before) then let the teacher know. It can help if the teacher knows when to push hard and when to cut some slack. The moderately disruptive behaviour you describe - let the teacher handle it. Where possible, try to avoid punishing it when it occurs at home, they generally can't help it especially when they are younger. Instead, try to provide alternative activities to help burn off that energy. I used to dream of a hamster wheel I could chuck the kids into, so they could burn off some of that energy and also feed electricity back to the grid. I also dreamed of writing nasty letters to breakfast cereal companies that insisted on making energy cereals for kids. I dreamed of the day when you could buy "Narco-Pops - the authentic energy drain cereal!" Marg [/QUOTE]
