[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 108127, member: 3626"] If you haven't read The Explosive Child, I'd suggest you do so. It really is a great help. Whenever possible, let natural consequences be the rule. I'm not sure what is accomplished by sending a 6 YO home from school except give out the message that the way to get out of schoolwork is to act out. What would happen if you refused or were unable to pick him up? It seems like the school could be a bit more creative in consequences. My daughter did get sent home from school a time or two. Since school was for learning, there was no tv, computer, play when she was sent home. She would do workbooks and chores while school was in session (with recess breaks as appropriate). Once school was out for the day, she would be given any classwork the teacher sent home and her homework to do. Once all work was done, she was free to play. If her misbehavior caused harm to another, she would write letter(s) of apology to the injured party. [/QUOTE]
