Trouble understanding

[Rajini]

I have a 6 year old boy. He gets into trouble with school. When everf I pick him up from school I ask his teacher about how he did in school today. Some time she tells me that he was not nice to his friends today or something like saying that he was wrestling with his friends or being too rough. I have tried talking to him abt how its not nice to be this way and given him timeouts and thinking time and now I am all out of options. Can some one please help me out.

You might want to ask the teacher if she is of the opinion that your son is behaving differently from typical children in the class. Some teachers say this to every parent, but it does not mean that the children are doing anything unusual.
If she thinks its unusual, then you could begin a reward program for your son. Instead of punishing him for getting in trouble, you could offer him rewards for each day he does not get in trouble. This way, you are encouraging his positive behavior. This is what we do with my son-- it works somewhat. The book How to Behave So Your Children Will Too has some good tips.

Please try to remember that school is not the same as it was when we were young.  These kids are in their seats almost all day.  They are stir crazy.  I am lucky enough to have a very understanding teacher for my kindergartener.  She understands that these kids are going crazy being still all day.  Remember your boy is very young and is really too young to be good all day long in a situation like that.
