Hello
I'm wondering if anyone is having behaviour issues at school. My son is giving the school a run for their money. He is wanting control all the time and is very stubborn. He is smart enough to do the work but just says no half the time. They are having a problem getting him off the playground. The principals have to carry him in. We've tried every kind of incentive, visual schedules, time outs, M&M's and loss of recess. We are at our wits end. Nothing seems to motivate him. Has anyone else had this problem?

My daughter is 8 but doesn't seem to have any major behavior issues. She goes to a center based program and I don't think they challenge her enough. She would probably have more behavior problems if they pushed her. She seems to have outgrown the plop and drop (thanks goodness!!!) but is extremely stubborn. The only thing we found to motivate her has been money. Yep, we pay her in pennies.  Wish I could help. I teach elementary music and we give extra music time for one of the students with special needs because he loves to come to music. Perhaps your son could earn extra recess or something. Chris |

Hi Chris
Sean loves the plop and drop (good name by the way). He's 60 lbs and too hard to lift now so that's why the principals have to come out and pick him up.
Haven't thought of money. That might be a good one. I'll suggest that one to his aide.
Any suggestions help or even hope! Just hearing that your daughter grew out of it gives me hope.

I just finished asking for help on the general forum. my son Noah is also having behavior issues, some quite severe! You might feel better about your sons behavior after reading about my sons issues. He is also very smart & controlling, he will tell you what to do & expect you to listen to him but if you ask him to do something he flat out tells you NO WAY!!!

I'm am laughing. I just posted to you in the general forum! Man I think we have issues. LOL My son says No Way to. Or "go away, get out". I just thought of something. I'll post it on the general forum and then do you want to stick to that one so we're not going back and forth? I think more people read that one anyway and we might get more feedback. See you in the other room!  |

Been there done that. I think that my son Adam too is very stubborn and like to take control. But I think that it all depends on the way things aree asked of him. Your son si doing pretty good in grade 2. Is he always in the class room or taken out at some time for other things. I remember Adam att hat age and eh would get very frustrated. My opinion is (and my opinion only) from experience with Adam, is that when he would get bored or frustrated he would act out more. So we decided to send him in a special Ed class only. They had more time for him and there was less demands on him acting like everyone else.
I understand that the new thing is for our kids to be fully integrated, but in our case it didn;t work for Adam.

Wow! I just clicked on this thread and didn't realize I had posted to it just over a year ago. Things certainly have changed in one year.  My sweet child has turned into a monster. She is hitting, kicking, scratching, spitting, screaming. We have no idea what is going on with her. Why the heck does a child suddenly start having major behavior problems? We just had a Functional Behavior Assessment done on her and will be meeting on Thursday to go over the results and I am guessing we will be mapping out a behavior plan. Her physiatrist has already suggested that we may have to try meds for impulsivity. Gosh, I hope we come up with some answers soon. Chris |

victoria wants to be in charge, refuses to cooperate , does not like to be told what to do and does everything in her own time, sounds like everyone in my family.
