Help!! - Deltona,FL

I went through the same thing last year. My son was bored and had a strict teacher. Yes you have to discipline and support the teacher but what is she doing. Is she nit-picking or does she keep him busy? My son is very popular in school, sweet, loving… you name it but BOREDOM is his kryptonite. He is now in 1st grade and this teacher gets him. She recognizes that he is an active boy and finds ways to motivate him. She won’t let him be disruptive so she works with his strengths. Kindergarten is a huge transition. Don't be too hard on him as it will back fire. I felt like such a failure and thought I was raising a sociopath. I was / am not. I was the crazy one with unrealistic expectations. Don’t forget, little boys have zero attention span when they get bored. Shoot, so do the big boys. Good Luck, this too shall pass.

My oldest daughter who is now 17 had the same problem...I believe it is a phase, but she was always grounded or doing an extra work out. She ended up to be great. Not that she wasn't before just challenged and now she is super health conscious as well...bonus!

How is his behavior at school? I think they have a hard time getting used to that level of concentration at school....
Post the house rules and the consequences for breaking them. Hit him where it hurts--so to speak--if he loves his DS, Wii, Computer time, take that away for a day. And you have to be consistent. If you waffle--they smell it! Like sharks and blood in the water! LOL

get the books "Love and Logic"

What behaviour? Everything you have said is positive- so what the heck is left to be wrong?

If he is doing great academically, socially, has a great personality, is affectionate, and loves to please, what the heck is he doing that you think is so awful? Maybe your expectations?
best, k

You don't say exactly what behaviors you are having so it's hard to give advice.
