6 year old expelled from school for bad behaviour, but is very good at home

[cookiek]

Please help.My just turned six year old son has been to fourschools since he turned  and has been asked to leave each one of them due to to exreme bad behaviour. He refuses to do what teachers tell him to do, and has even hit out at them. At school he refused to do any work or join in any craft or games activities. He was using bad language and verbaly and physically assauting other children. He did not respond to time out and does not care for sticker charts. He would promise us that he would not misbehave again, but everyday we were called in to hear a rap sheet of things he had done.

He is now homeschooled,as we cannot put ourselves through him being expelled from yet anoher school, and we have been homeschooling him for 5 months, but is being very defiant towards his tutor who comes in two afternoons per week. Refusing to learn for her and generally being very rude to her and messing around, just like he did in school. He also goes to a learning centre twice a week, but tonight we were told he was not welcome there anymore as he is being very difient and breaking the rules of the centre time and time again.

Thank you for closing the loop!  Am so happy that your son is doing well.  Mine is going through a similar phase due to which we are homeschooling. He loves being homeschooled! I'm glad your son didn't have trouble going back to school! There's a light at the end of the tunnel for me :)

All the best!

CookieK you obviously care so deeply for your son to ask this question and truly want to help your child succeed. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and I apologize for all the singles, parents, and school officials that you have encountered who are not supportive of you or who simply do not take the time to understand your situation. I am not going to give you parenting advice because you have probably heard it all by now. What I do want to tell you is that you are truly a lovely and amazing person and a wonderful parent. Enjoy your son and take time to care for you. Whatever you learn from this will be a light to someone else. You are so courageous and your son is so precious and beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Hugs and best wishes to you and your family.

Well, it's been almost a five year smooth patch so I think it will :)
