Re: Sons behaviour at school

Dear Elaine,

I have a similar problem with my 5 year old son - the biting boy. He has improved in the last 2 weeks though we have had one more biting incident. We adopted the adult approach - sat him down and expressed how disappointed we were with him. We talked about why hurting others in not godd, etc and WHAT TO DO WHEN ANGRY. It's early days, however it is yielding some results. You need to remember however that it could be the effects of a new setting. My son's teachers reassured us that there are others in the class with similar problems. It could be a 'settling' in thing - hope this helps. Oh nearly forgot - we also withdrew all his toys, and cut off other priviledges. We haven't given him back the toys and he understands that he must stop 'hurting' other children before he gets any back. I find it hard work reminding him everyday/night of our expectations, but I must say so far so good. Hope this helps. I still dread going to pick him up......good luck
