My 5 year old son started school in September
We have noticed big improvements and have been impressed with the school and everything that they have put into place for him. He is statemented for 32.5 hours (so full time, including lunch and break times). He has started to interact with others and for the first time is talking about other children in his class and things he has done with them!
However, when he gets home it all disintegrates into chaos. He does not want to talk, or interact and he gets very frustrated and aggressive. You ask him anything and he shouts "no" picks up the nearest thing and throws it at me very hard
I tend to try and leave him alone for a while as I think he is tired after school, but he just goes wild. Running around, screaming and shouting for no apparent reason
If i tell him no, or try and stop him wrecking the house, he storms up to me to kick or hit. Even if his dad disciplines him he just comes straight over to me to be violent
What can i do. Often he is in tears as he does it! it seems more frustration than anything, but I cant see any triggers and in the meantime I am getting black and blue!
He always says sorry (but I think its cos he knows its expected) then 5 mins later he does the same again
Any suggestions??
