I need help with my 5 year old bad behavior?
Ever since my 5 year old has started Pre-K he has been acting out in school. I am not talking about throwing a little fit. I'm talking about throwing chairs, empty out container of toys, jumping and running on and off tables and shelf, and hitting the staff. He does not do this at home and he does not do it everyday. I have tried all most everything with him even see if he has ADD/ADHD. The doctors said he does not have it. they think i don't discipline him or it maybe a angry problem. If he keep this behavior up they said they will kick him out. this is his first time in an enivorment where he has to share an adult with kids his age. He only has to share mom and dad with his 2 year old sister and she does not act like this.
answer:
I disagree that he needs more quality time with adults, or more attention. It sounds as if he is too used to having constant attention from adults and can't handle being in an environment with other children. A solution to this is to arrange for your son to be in a group situation with larger groups of children that you or another trusted adult can supervise. I suggest getting him into a sport (Karate would be great!) This way if it is an anger problem he'll have a positive outlet, and he can learn to be around other children while sharing one adult's attention. Of course this is also good for you as well, as you can sit in on the classes and see how he acts around other children. Find out what exactly is happening and deal with the situation as it occurs. Teach him more positive ways to deal with his frustrations and show him that his actions have consequences by swift punishment (losing a privilege such as watching TV or playing with a special toy) being enforced at the time.

Also, speak with the principal of his school. See if you or another family member can sit in on his Pre-K class to witness the events taking place. See what exactly it is that's causing his actions, and teach him a better way to deal with it.
And last but not least, children do need discipline. He needs to understand that not only will good behaviour get him good things, but bad behaviour will get him bad things. With younger kids, telling them that if they behave like "babies" and do not listen to adults, then they will be treated like "babies" normally works. Remind your son that "babies" cannot have friends over, cannot play with "big boy" toys, cannot watch TV, etc.
Though I like the point system it will not work the way you intend it to unless he is able to loose points to. With that though, he is still at an age where he needs direct consequences. Children under 8 have trouble grasping the idea of loosing privileges later on. They need to see direct consequences for their actions immediately.

i would disagree that you discipline him because i have a feeling that won't work. Careers_Employment pregnancy.yifei8.netParenting
instead, you should try spending some more personal time with your child, like going to the park together. I'm positive your child will change.

Sounds like he needs more quality attention
