How do you help your child deal with you working full time?
Examples of things he does at school:
He will not sit still to do his school work
He will not follow the class room rules
He bothers other students while they are doing their work
Just alot of disobedient behavior
He is a smart and sweet kid, he just can't behave.
Please, I need some good advice from parents who know what I am going through. Thanks
Answer:
I understand it's hard become a full time working parent with kid because I do. I think your kid needs more attention from you. Always make sure that you ask him about school when you meet him everyday, ask what good in school, how is his teacher, what he learns today, which whom does he play, etc. (asking something good). Also, it is important that you spend your time with your kid everyday, at least 30-60 minutes time only for him without any thing else, just him. In that time, you can play game with him or do something interactive between you and him. Also, when your day off, spend your time more with him, interact and play with him. I am very sure he will change his attitude. Also, make a reward program card for him. If he is good all day, give him a sticker, if he is not good, he will not get any sticker reward, if he violate the rule and you warn him once and he still keep doing it, then, take 1 of his sticker from his chart. And always remind him about the reward. Tell him about how happy you are to have the best kid like him and you want him to show you as he is a good kid who makes you proud of him, etc. Don't always leave your kid alone all the time when you are there, but, spend time to play and have conversation with him, he will be so happy and change his behavior. I have 2 kids, 5 years and 2 years, it sometimes made me very frustrated as I am full time working Mom and very tired and don't have time even for myself, but, I always spare my time for my kids whenever I have time at home and my kids become well behave and do not attack me or make trouble outside. Show your kid your good parenting and I am sure you can do it. Good Luck.
Sit him down and just tell him that his behavior is not acceptable and that if he continues to misbehave then he is going to get in trouble at home..i.e, no tv/computer time, video games. Kids need to learn at a young age that they need to behave in school. Teachers have a hard enough job without kids acting out and parents need to back the teachers up.
It is easy to say, just tell him that he is not behaving, but it sounds like he is just trying to get atttention. He is used to you being around and now he has to share the attention of one person with a lot of other children. That is hard on a child and even harder for them to completely understand.
Does his kindergarten teacher send a conduct sheet home everyday? If so, I would suggest going over it with him, not being angry, just say "honey, i see you were ... " Ask him to tell you exactly what he did. It is WAY BETTER to "ask him" than immediately getting angry and pointing a finger. This way he understands that you are including him on this issue and not right away taking the teachers side..you are giving him a chance to discuss this with you in HIS words. Then love on that baby a lot while telling him that he would not like it if someone was disrupting "his" time.
We all lose our patience at one time or another.it's ok. I understand completely.
And you have talked to his teacher - what does she say is going on with him, when he is NOT misbehaving? What does he say to her about it?
we go out an talk about work spelling test
I would keep in mind that he is only 5 and he may not be ready to follow the rules of the classroom.
Consider checking with his teacher and finding out how his day is run.
Does he have full or parttime kindergarten?
Does he get one or two recesses?
Does he get frequent breaks?
Is he overwhelmed from being around sooo many other students?
I think teachers expect too much of our little kindergartners. I spent a day in my 5 y/o's class and came up with this.
consistancy always parents both agree and dont let him play you he is smart and is acting out for attention the wrong kind there are many books that could help on the bull headed child but many of them are gifted do not break the spirit by usage of meds u will have little hair left after done but will be well worth it counceling is best not meds makes zombies and breaks the spirit thats not worth it hang in there it will change be consistant and both have same answers for him dont let go of your control yet gl
