Recently just received a warning letter from School that my Son behaviour issue, He kick furniture, tore down poster and punch and kick the teacher who want to stop him throw tanturm. He will stress if he forget his own homework. Like if teacher ask and he forgot the answer due to lack of practice. He has own expectation. If he doesn't know how to answer, he will cry and start to scream. Even weekend also, my hubby if don't follow His ways, he will start to scream and cry. Ended up, my hubby lose his patient and will beat him. Almost every weekend my hubby beat him up due to His bad tantrum. How do I help my Son? He is p2. I have 3 kids. He is my eldest Son. I only discipline him at home If he is really bad like play stove, or climbing too high. I am not sure what happens to him. Since primary school, he really like that. Like to cry and throw tanturm. Used to pamper by grand mum. Should I see physiologist ? The school has arrange Counselling for the warning letter. Or it is our parenting issues. My hubby is the another one that think must cane him to teach Him. He will called me up If he cannot handle him outside and asked me to fetch him from mrt station to home. It just Happens today that he slap him all the way from mrt station to home. I feel like stress by him. How can he discipline him outside? And he slap Him at from mrt as drag him Home?

Was your child like this when he was in kindergarten? Seems like he cannot control his emotions and fear (which is normal for p2 kids), has different expectations of primary school and the teachers. I was a parent volunteer previously and have seen lots of such kids in p1/p2. Many of them are not used to the more restrictive environment in classroom setting, loud noises, more students in a classroom etc. Perhaps you can meet up with the school counsellor to see if extra help needed to guide your son. Your son is also experiencing the frustrations of not understanding certain topics, fear of being ridicule in class in front of his classmates when giving wrong answers etc. When he is calmer, explain to him it is okay to give wrong answers as no one is perfect. Perhaps you can also work with his teachers, ask ahead what new chapters will be taught in the following week, then go through the new unit with him. This will allow him extra time to understand. Please also speak to your hubby and ask him not to continue such abusive behaviour, as that will worsen your son's behaviour. Stay strong and be well, your son needs your assurance and TLC to guide him through this period.
