Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I been reading other posts about their children pacing at home after returning from school. My son doesn't pace....but he comes home and is burnt out and needs space.... He used to come home and if I spoke to him, he would practically bite my head off....he is angry and doesn't want to be annoyed. He would fight me tooth and nail. So, I learned to wait till he was ready to talk which might be 30 minutes after he came in. It has gotten a little better since he is riding the smaller bus...less noise, no bullying or teasing. Now, he doesn't act this way in school. When I speak of his anger and temper tantrums...the teachers look at me and say...No (they believe me, but he is so well behaved in school...he would never dream of speaking to them like he does me). So, I am wondering....I know it has to do with comfort zone....but the pacing, talking to oneself, needing space, getting angry....but I am wondering .....does this all come from ANXIETY! They hold themselves together at school....but when they get home...all the anxiety and fustration is release either thru pacing or anger or just spacing out.... Any thoughts?
