[QUOTE="MDL, post: 242554, member: 6758"] Hi Sandy, I'm new here but your post really resonates with me. I have a six-year-old son in the 1st grade who cannot leave his classmates alone. He is disruptive in class, rude to people around him, and finds offense with everyone else. This is my son, too. Also, he never learns from his mistakes, he just repeats them over and over. He acts as if there's a specific set of rules that apply only to him. Why do you think they don't realize their affect on others? Is it part of ODD, or part of being six, or something else? My son never shows remorse or regret unless he thinks it will get him out of trouble, and then of course I'm not sure he's really feeling it. My son spends a lot of time out of the classroom, either sitting at a "cool down" table in the hallway, or in the reading specialist's room so that he can focus on his reading and writing, or in the behavioral specialist's office in a time-out. At this point I worry that he's not in the classroom enough and not learning. The school spends a lot of time and energy removing him, which is good for him and good for the class, but he needs to be in the classroom, too. Do you think your daughter would benefit from having a "cool down" place outside of the classroom? My son's teachers have done a good job of helping him see when he's losing it and needs to take a break. [/QUOTE]
