My son will be seven next month and is in the end of first grade. He didn't attend preschool because of where we live. I live in a very small farming town (population of 700) with no preschool options besides early childhood and he wouldn't have qualified. So he just went straight to full day kindergarten. He is rarely a problem at school. Everyone tells me how great and sweet he is. All the teachers and staff adore him!! He even get good grades. he will Complain about having To go or so his homework But at tge end if the day it isnt a problem. He is much smaller than his peers but seems to get along with them for the most part. He did play team soccer this year and seemed to really enjoy it. Until his games were over than he would find reasons to have a fit. Mostly he spends his free time playing with Legos, reading, riding his bike, swimming, jumping on the trampoline etc... He is very active and changes gears quickly. It is rare for him to stick with one activity for any length of time. When I watch him play with friends he has to be in charge of whatever the game may be and he enjoys playing rough games and tends to take it to the next level with someone being hurt. So I don't allow it. He has a five year old brother that he has a love/hate relationship with. One minute he wants to play with him and the next he is lashing out and hurting him. You just never know which child you are going to get. There is a GREAT loving awesome little boy that we get to see only a few days a month, the rest of the days it seems like he just looks for reasons to pick a fight or to have a fit. I can actually see him looking for something to fight over which turns into hours of him raging out of control. And when I try to redirect him it doesn't work. He will just keep poking until there is a reason for him to loose his cool.
I truly appreciate all of everyone's input. It is so hard dealing with him while on lookers just have negative comments toward me. I am doing the very best I can do for. I don't have much if a support system in place besides my husband.
