Time outs at home for school behaviors??

[Guest guest]

Is that right? My 5 year old has been calling kids names at school the last few

days (poopyhead mainly) and he gets puts in a timeout at school. They also have

a system where every kid has a clothespin that is clipped onto a green board.

If they get in trouble they have to move their clip to yellow, then more trouble

means red. Matty has gone into red the last 3 days. We talked with him a lot

over the weekend and told him that if he went into red again today he wold lose

his Legos until he behaved better. So the Legos are put away. So far he is

taking it fairly well but that won't stay for long. His teacher emailed me last

week and then today to give me the details about the problems and she informed

me that since todays name-calling happened at the end of the day he wold be

taking a time out first thing tomorrow and that maybe a time-out at home would

be good as well? I don't feel right about that. Wondering what your thoughts

were on school behavios having to be disciplined at home.

Thanks, Jen
