[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 454585"] Welcome doelly. I am so sorry you had to find us but am so glad you have. The parents here have so much experience dealing with pretty much everything imaginable. If you stick around, you will learn a lot and keep your sanity too. I know they have helped me keep mine. There could be several things going on. He may just be immature. He may also have something else going on that is causing him to act this way and conventional "discipline" isn't going to work, at least not until they are identified. Is the psychologist doing any evaluations to determine potential diagnoses? Has he/she given you and the teacher any questionaires to fill out? If not, ask that they do ASAP. If they say they are not able to do that, find someone that can. A Child Psychiatrist, Developmental Pediatrician, or a Neuropsychologist are the most qualified to help you identify what might be going on. It sounds like he is impulsive and has difficulty with social skills. You need to think carefully about waiting another year for kindergarten. I don't necessarily agree with keeping kids back but since he could benefit from another year to mature more AND it could give you time to figure out what is going on BEFORE you start the school nightmare many of us have been through. Personally, I would take the year to try to get a handle on what is going on and get his behavior to a better place before he is given a "reputation" that will never go away. But, that is just my opinion. There is a book I found that was extremely helpful in dealing with my son's behaviors effectively is "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It has helped me learn to understand the WHY of my son's behavior to deal with it effectively. Again, welcome to our "family". Weekends are a little slow here but I promise others will be along.
