Hey ladies, I'm usually over in the pregnancy forums, but today I'm at a loss and it has nothing to do with pregnancy. My youngest is 6 years old, will be 7 in Feb. He is a very high energy, hyper, playful, boy. He's very smart, but he just has the poorest self-control. He had trouble in school pretty much all last year in Kindergarten. This year is starting off the same way, with notes home every week if not more than once a week. I feel helpless. I have tried EVERYTHING with him. From rewards, to serious talks, to corner time, to loss of priviledges to spankings. The only thing that seems to work at home, is corner time/time out or spankings. He does not repsond to anything else. He goes to public school, so naturally they can't do anthing but take away play time, and stuff like that. So basically I really just don't feel like he can go to public school, because the teachers just can't deal with him, they can't get him to mind the way I can, but I can't be there at school with him and hold his hand, and spank him every time he messes up. Because frankly he doesn't care about there little punishments, it doesn't even phase him one bit, and 5 min later he forgets all about it. Like nothing every happened. I really want to take him out of public school and home school him somehow, but its just so overwhelming even getting started with all the rules and regulations and its just a nightmare. I really just don't know what to do. I just don't want to spend the next year with notes and teacher conferences going over the same stuff that doesn't work for him. I just don't know what to do, I'm at my wits end here. I just feel like these teachers are blaming me, and want me to fix it, and I'm already doing everything I can at home. I can't come to the school and make him mind. I have to work. Things just seem so impossible right now.
