'it' being desruptive (if it's even that) behaviour?
His mum dropped him off this morning and said he'd been very good getting in the car etc that she'd given him a sticker, which I praised him for (yesterday he was being a right royal 'pickle' for both his mum and me so she had to take him to school herself!) As SOON as the door was closed, he turned into a devil child!!!! Started hitting my son with water bottle, and started to stand on the toddler's feet! Then it just went down hill from there - my own son was late for school because of this child's behaviour and that's something I can't abide :angry: Finally got him out of my house and into the car, but at the other end (a little walk to the school gate), he wouldn't budge. I asked him nicely if he could walk for me and he just ran into someone's garden/driveway. I told him that if I had to I would carry him and he said he would walk. He did - by leaning up against all the walls and walking at a snail's pace. In the end, I just took his arm and walked with him screaming and shouting at me to get off him. Finally got to the gate, gave my son his book bag and bottle, kissed him and off he went. Mindee....no such luck! Threw his bag and bottle on the floor, still screaming and shouting. I told him I was going to have to speak to mummy about his behaviour. I had to then literally pick him up, with him trying to hit, kick etc and hand him to a teacher, who equally struggled with him.
He's like this almost every day at different stages (usually when you say no to him, as he's not used to it!) Now, I can ignore the screaming and tantrums, but as soon as other children get affected by it, then no, something has to be done. I just don't know what - am at end of my tether with this one. I've had tantrumers before, but it's like this boy is on a different level to any of the others and I just can't get through to him at all. When I try to talk to him, he covers his ears and says "I'm not listening". Oh yeah, and when he hits other children, he laughs - if they get upset by it, he laughs harder.
Help!!!
