Re: Hitting resource aid at school - Kindergarten

You have to determine why he is hitting more specifically. If it's when he doesn't want to do something, why doesn't he want to do it. It could be that the aid is pushing him to do the work in a way that bothers him. Or maybe he can't do what he's being asked to do and he doesn't know how to express that. He could be having anxiety about joining in and so he balks. Or perhaps he is just not wanting to work and needs a better incentive. each reason would have a different solution.

May those who love us, love us

And those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts

And if he can't turn their hearts,

May he turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping!

( ) Hitting resource aid at school - Kindergarten

Hello Everyone,

I have a six year old that started to hit his resource aid at school (fully inclusion class). The circumstances are usually around something he doesn't want to do. I have spoken with my son about this and taken things away (toys). He is very rigid in his thinking but he knows better than to hit. He does not hit at home. We just got an IEP and he has speech, is taken for certain assignments and is about to start working with the school psychologist. What methods have you used to get through to your child that has hitting behavior at school? Any suggestions are appreciated.
