It's Not Working

Okay for real people - Jack is just not behaving well. He's throwing major tantrums at home and misbehaving at school. Someone PLEASE tell me this is a phase that 5 year olds go through.

At school I think it's that he's bored. When he's being challenged, like during work time, he is perfectly fine. But at playtime he's a terror. We've taken things away from him (privileges) and now we're going to go back to a sticker chart to reward the good days.

He's lucky that he's perfectly adorable.

Maybe it'll all be better when school starts?

Since we haven't hit five yet, I can't say - except keep your head up and this to shall pass. The other idea I saw on a parenting website - putting marbles in the glass jar whenever you see your kid doing something good. When the jar is full you get to go for ice cream or another treat.

I know we've talked about this, but i can't help writing a comment, too! (smile) Can you spell b o r e d? He's a foot taller and thinking in a way completely differently than the other kids in the room. That's okay for a few days. After months of it - well - the mind thinks up other things to do! He's in a GREAT pre-school. But that's it - a PRE-SCHOOL. And he's WAY. PAST. THAT.
