5 yr old son

My five yr old sons behavior is getting worse.I am being called in by the school everday his teacher says he doesnt care who tels him off hes been to the head and nothing has changed. he is spitting at children today he kicked a girl in her privates. He has his own naughty mat but wont sit on it hitting others nxt to him, interupting the teacher. At home he tottally ignores anyone hits kicks verbally abusive. Sending him to his room, taking toys away he just laughs and says i dont care. In public he is loud disruptive when you try to repremand him he looks blankly at u and carries on. His teacher has recommend an app with gp i will try anything sinead1979

Is there some reason,  since "you'll try anything", you haven't tried the most logical first step - making the appointment with his doctor?

It sounds like his difficulties go beyond the typical "middle child syndrome" - and with an exam and maybe notes from you and the teacher,  you can begin to get some help.

His teacher has recommend an app with gp

This is where you start.  Experienced teachers have seen many children and usually can tell if something is "amiss".  It is possible that your son is suffering from an emotional disorder.  Some children get sick physically, some children get sick mentally and some children get sick emotionally.  It's no one's fault - it just is.  Please start with your family doctor - always rule out the possibility of your child being ill before dealing with other aspects of behaviour.   All the best ...

Could there be anything upsetting him, how is he with the rest of the family has he any siblings and if he has how does he get on with them are there any issues there Could any of his behavior be learned ? I think a visit to the doctor may be a good idea .
