My eldest had to have gromets fitted in both ears and although she appeared to be able to hear very well and her speech was excellent she was actually nearly deaf in both ears from a gradual build up of fluid in the ear. Because she could hear well at one stage and the change was gradual she had learn't to live with it. She was never naughty just didn't always listen... however we picked up on this problem before she went ot school or daycare and the change has been phenomenal. I have a boy in my care at work who appears to have a hearing prob also. Similar behaviours, during group times he will choose a book and sit at the back, never sings and plays up. I think it's well worth getting it checked even if it is just to eliminate this as the cause. I hope this helps your little man.

Goodluck.

Maybe he needs to actually leave the room for his time out, maybe to the office or something (thats what they did in my day....not that I ever went LOL, that was my little brothers job).

I'm prompted to ask what kind of rules they have in class in relation to what you and his dad have in your homes? Perhaps if you both tried to simulate the behavior and rules that are required to be followed in class at home, it may help with the transition.  For example, when you read him a story don't allow him to interupt you until you have finished the story, unless he asks you very politely if he needs something like the loo or a drink etc. (which equates to sitting on the mat listening quietly with the other kids at school and only asking politely minus the hand up etc).  Things like if he gets something out to play with or an activity he might have to play at it for a min of 15 mins if he's the one who chose it & then pack it up and put it away properly, as is required in school.

I don't know if you do simular things already and if you do then I think I'm out of suggestions LOL...sorry.  Let me know how you go.  Good Luck to you all. xo

At home he is fine, but at school a different child altogether.

His teacher is right when she says that this will cause problems through out his school life. There is ...
There is help out there for him, for his sake the sooner this is  started the better.  Before the other children  withdraw  social contact from him.

Good luck, I hope you can resolve this problem for your little man.  Please let us know how you get on.]]> http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/386175/need-help-with-my-5-year-olds-behaviour-at-school//#386327 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/386175/need-help-with-my-5-year-olds-behaviour-at-school//#386327 Thu, 10 May 2007 20:28:57 -0700 NEED HELP with my 5 year olds behaviour at school Becs Now that i think about it, we have always had similar problems when he was in childcare. Now it has just been amplified due to school having rules that he has to follow. I do think it is attention seeking also ! the teacher does place him in time out & she said when she does this he often tells ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/386175/need-help-with-my-5-year-olds-behaviour-at-school//#386325 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/386175/need-help-with-my-5-year-olds-behaviour-at-school//#386325 Thu, 10 May 2007 20:28:07 -0700 NEED HELP with my 5 year olds behaviour at school cheleinkal Geeez, this is a tough one huh?  Maybe something a little tough has to be the answer.  Whats the schools policy on discipline?  What do they do, coz I'm thinking when he is disrupting other kids it is obviously for attention so he needs to learn to wait his turn etc.  Well can he get a time out in the ... Geeez, this is a tough one huh?  Maybe something a little tough has to be the answer.  Whats the schools policy on discipline?  What do they do, coz I'm thinking when he is disrupting other kids it is obviously for attention so he needs to learn to wait his turn etc.  Well can he get a time out in the corner where he is still in the class but NOT a part of the class.  I'm just wondering out loud really, but it seems to me that this might register with him, that his behaviour gets him less attention that than if he behaved properly.   I think it's something you, (maybe) his dad and the teacher all need to be on the same page with, maybe even the principal.

If he is used to a one on one relationship with you and then a one on one with his dad, then that's what I think he is probably missing at school, and he is never going to find it there, so he needs to change his expectations a little bit, just for school.  Did he go to kinda or day care?  How was he there?

I'd say he has a problem with attention sharing, which would explain the improved behavior at home where he's back to one on one.

I tell him that if he is nice to his friends then they will be nice to him also.
