WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ACTING OUT IN CLASS

Every parent want their children to be a well behave child in school and everywhere.

But its difficult when your child’s teacher kept calling and complaining about your child’s behavior in class, that he/she is a trouble maker at school.

It’s very hard to change the image because even when your child tries harder, the label is reinforced when slips up. And then he is really in trouble, because not only is he still a trouble maker – now he is seen as a manipulator too.

Part of what you have to do as a parent is try to distinguish between the label and your child’s style of functioning in school. So if your child has been called a troublemaker, ask yourself what that means. How does he make trouble? Does he speak out of turn in class? Is he easily distracted and bothersome to the students sitting next to him? or is he disruptive and rude?

I think as a parent you need to be honest with yourself about your child’s behavior.

Yes, its important to assert yourself as a parent and advocate for your child at school. but it’s also vital to your child’s developments that you do not defend him when he’s in the wrong.

Make no mistake; defending your child when he has behaved inappropriately will not help him develop the appropriate skills and to become right as a child. So if your child is known as a school troublemaker and is disruptive and rude in class, its very important that you acknowledged that.

Parents need to have an open mind about their children so they can help the school and change their behavior.

Don’t forget, for many parents of kids with behavior problems, its easier to fight with the school than its easier to change their child. And when you do this, that only succeeds in letting your child off the hook, when in reality what they really need to do is learn how to change their behavior.

Wherever possible, though its sometimes difficult, parents and teachers need to work together in solving this problem.

I will be talking about different ways to help your child behavior well in school and everywhere, on my next post.
