[QUOTE="Loralyn, post: 343139, member: 8808"] Your son sounds just like mine, who started Kindergarten this year. Week one: loved it. Week two: poked a little girl in the privates while playing chase & the principal called, week three: huge fist fight on the playground & called male yard duty mean names...on and on. Advice given to us by a teacher friend was not to label him too early - so when I filled out the registration paperwork I wrote "leader, strong personality, confident, likes to be outdoors as much as possible, very physical, would do best with a very experienced and consistent teacher...etc." My son's teacher has been teaching for 20 years -- she is amazing. After seeing him fight, push, etc she recommended him for the school therapist, who works with him both in a group and alone twice a week. They work on playing nicely, how to be a friend, respecting adults, how to win and lose at a board game (my son gets very angry if he isn't winning) etc. So we let the school help us...and I never discussed my son't history except to say that "he has been this was since the day he was born." I will also say that the first parent teacher conference was painful, with the teacher saying how much medications help kids like my son and that he won't listen to the assistant teacher or any adult other than her. But it was good for us to get this feedback. He is now saying he doesn't want to go to school, doesn't have any friends, etc and we are moving toward medication for him. My son was kicked out of his preschools too - how mortifying is that!? I feel like we are blacklisted all over town over our five year old! Best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
