U know that saying once you say, My kid would never ! Here they come nevering like they nevered before ? I’m so serious when I teach my kid kindness and how to be polite and nice .

Well he went to school and acted like he had no home training , took his frustration out on a kid standing in his way and then bit another kid . The principal call me to tell me what happen and I’m in shock , he’s never bitten before and too old for that . And I’m like who the F is this kid? We did Recently move It is a new school and he’s missing his other school and friends. But still absolutely no excuse. I’m very upset and don’t know what else to do . I’m also not a soft roll over parent and don’t just let him do whatever he wants . I always stand by being respectful and don’t tolerate this behavior that’s why I’m at a loss . What would you do?

Show your support

how old is he?

@Sarah 5

He’s only 5, he’s adjusting to the move. Have a conversation with him, ask him what happened and remind him that we don’t take our frustrations out on other people and we don’t bite. Support him to find other strategies to help him when he’s feeling frustrated. Give him some grace, he’s still so little!

aw. 5 is a tough age to go through a big change. I think that if it was a one-off and he hasn't shown this kind of behavior before, then maybe just chalk it up to his emotions about moving. just have a conversation with him and see how you can best support him. this doesn't make you a soft roll over parent, it makes you a kind one.

@Sarah thank you. He also a very strong willed kid . Talks back most of the time . But super smart and kind . I thought I would have seen more talkative but not the biting and the hitting . I was taken by surprise. He said he was angry because he was bored
