I am having problems with my 6 year old son at camp and really need some suggestions for changing his behavior. I was just told today that he is being suspended for 1 day because of the behavior. If it continues, he will be permanently kicked out of camp. Unfortunately staying home with him isn't an option. I'm a nurse working 1st shift (6:45am - 3:15pm). I also have a 4 year old daughter that is at a preschool.
The behavior problem? Kissing girls and touching people. I was told by one of the counselors today that he is "making the other kids uncomfortable". Apparently alot of kids start running around and playing and my son joins them. Once he gets going through, he starts chasing the girls with the goal of not just tagging them, but trying to kiss them. The counselor tells me that the problem also happens on the bus, but they say they don't want to assign him a seat on the bus. I told them if it will help resolve the behavior issue, then by all means assign him a seat! They say there's nothing they can do to prevent the behavior because I asked them what they were doing to prevent it at camp.
He has had his Leapfrog Didj taken away for 2 weeks and has been assigned extraExtra strength mylanta calci tabs Extra strength pain relief chores everytime a behavior problem has been reported. He gets time out at camp when there's a problem, but obviously nothing is working so far.
