[QUOTE="Malika, post: 543764, member: 11227"] I got a bit more detail from J about what happened yesterday - curiously, it was all mainly the other boys' fault, so I have to take it with a pinch of salt... Anyway, there was a third boy involved, playing with them and I do know, because J usually plays with him, that this third boy is the very active kind that also likes play fighting and is a bit of a tearaway. So I guess it was dealing with these three all day that had got the woman in such a state. J says that he and her son had got scissors and glue from somewhere and that the other boy (mmmm, possibly) had thrown the glue on the ground and that's why his mother was so cross. That would also explain why J was washing his hands in the sink... I honestly think... without trying to excuse J (and I would get cross myself about it if it had happened at home)... that this is the sort of thing that J does without thinking, carried away in the moment and not actually thinking at all about things like "are we allowed to do this?" Impulsiveness. And how do you explain that to people who have no knowledge or understanding of ADHD? Just sounds like you are trying to protect your little darling.... But if the woman is there this morning, I will have a brief word with her. I have said to J that if he stops when he is called and doesn't do what he is told not to do and doesn't play fight... we can go and buy a power rangers toy, his absolute favourite of the moment, when I pick him up this evening. Base bribery but it's doctor's orders :) Well, the guy isn't working there today but I spoke to the (very pleasant) young woman who is and she looked a bit baffled when I said the director had been really upset yesterday. She said that the boys had been very active yesterday, and that the older boy was definitely the leader and J the follower, and that (again!) J was a really nice kid... so it doesn't sound as drastic as it did last night. [/QUOTE]
