[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 703158, member: 20727"] Suspending him is absolutely not going to help him in anyway, but the school needs that time to regroup and come up with other solutions because obviously what they are doing is not working. Had they said bring him back tomorrow with the same interventions in place he may of had a good day or he may have decided to punch the child next to him instead of a staff member. We don't know and until we figure that out I agreed with the principal that he was a danger to other children and should not be allowed back into the classroom that soon. As far as consequences vs punishment goes he has to learn that his actions have consequences whether good or bad. The natural consequences to hitting someone is to not be allowed around others. As far as taking away his electronics, he is home from school by his own bad choice. When asked why he did what he did he will say "because I was so angry". When asked why he was angry the answer is always "I don't know". That does sound like he was reacting on emotions he can not control and I believe that he simply does not have the skills to deal with these feelings like typical children. But he is far from helpless. He was one on one with a para professional, he knows when he is starting to get angry because he can and has said it before the aggressive outbursts in the past. He can tell the teacher or para and they will take him out of the room so he can de-stress etc. all he has to do is say it. If he cant seem to say it he has cards in his desk that he can put up with a angry face. they will then ask him if he needs a break. He has stress toys etc. in his reach at all times, if he goes to use on the staff will know that they need to ask him if he needs a break.
