J got in trouble today

[Candyland]

I got a letter from the school today that Jarret had pushed a line full of kids down. I guess it was a domino effect with the end result being L getting a bump on her noggin. I don't know what to do with the child! The other night at the fair he punched my nephew in the stomach for no reason. Just walked up and punched him...and hard! Why is he so mean? Can kids get expelled from PreK? :para

[Supercalafragilistic]

Oh no. Was there any reason for him to do that? Was he frustrated with anything?

[zak frost]

Oh man.....

[Candyland]

No, he just wanted to be mean to his sister and the only way he could do it was to push every other kid down too. :cry I am so frustrated with his behavior.

[Smidget]

oh wow candy, that sucks! i wish i had some suggestions, but i have no idea what you could do...

[Pezzle Stick]

Oh no that sucks. I dont know what you could do. Maybe just talk to him and see what his reason was for doing that? :shrug

Has anything changed in his environment lately, other than going to school? Like more visits, less visits with certain family members? IMO, he is acting out because he may be feeling "frustration" about something and doesn't know how to explain it. I'm not a dr, nor do I play on on tv :lol but I went through the same thing with Shawn when his dad and I got divorced when he was 3.
Just a thought.

Hope thign get better for you guys soon. :hug

So, he just wants to be mean?

Maybe you could get some books on bullies and explain what bullies are to him. Once he realizes that he is being a bully, maybe he will stop?

[Lilac]

:( Im sorry.

[TEF]

I'm sorry, too :( I think Kebs idea is a good one! I really hope he starts behaving for you and soon!

Yes they can get expelled from pre K They will more than likely say it is due to being too young for the environment.
I worked with a gal who's son got expelled a few years ago, her son took a pair of sissors and used them in a weapon mannor on another child. Talk about scarey!

My son got a speeding ticket the other day in school for running, the fine was 10.00. For each good behavior they earn tickets "dollars" with each bad behavior they have to give the tickets back. At the end of the month the teacher brings in items "for sale" so the kids have store. So while other kids are geting treats my son will be paying for his speeding ticket. This is his 1st yr pre K too, I thought this was a neat idea on behavior and manners???

[Smidget]

wow, that is a neat idea!

[WendyDixie]

Oh I am sorry he is being like that. The book on bullies is a good idea. I am sorry I don't have more abvice.

[TheBudsMom]

No ideas except the book one Kebs already said.
At my kids school they do a whole teaching segment on bullies that I thought was neat. Hope he gets out of this phase soon!

[Sofa King]

That ticket idea is awesome!

Candy, has he said anything else or has there been any other incidents?

I wish I had some advice. THe books do sound good.
