[QUOTE="Andy, post: 204995, member: 5096"] Has he been tested for a learning disability? He may be frustrated because learning letters and reading is difficult? I would do all the testing that others have suggested and also look into dyslexsia or some other non verbal learning challenges. Has his eye sight been checked out recently? As for disciplining - he does not understand why he is acting like this. I would try to focus more on what went right during the day and work as a team to figure out what did not. No punishing, just talking about what happened and what can be done to prevent it. Try to find out how he feels before or during his misbehaviour. Can he figure out a trigger? Maybe too many distractions, lights are too bright, he is hungry, whatever he may remember. If you do decide to discipline, try to make it match the behavior. "You had such a hard day today. Let's try to figure out what will make your days easier. How about I give you a snack and you get to bed a little earlier tonight." or "You need some quiet time. We will go straight home and you can relax in your room for a few minutes to unwind and get your strength back" You are showing concern and helping to find a way to make it better. Drawing a more structured schedule may seem like a discipline to your son but is also making him healthier. It is not the complete answer or the answer at all, just a side support. Welcome on board!
