Hi all, I have a 9 yr old boy who is starting to really frustrate me here lately. He isn't acting like himself and i am wondering if there is something going on at school. A couple of years ago, when he was in the 1st grade he had a boy that was really bullying him, and instead of telling us or the teacher, or anyone else, he let all his anger build until one day the boy threw playdough at his head and hit him. My son turned around and stuck a sharpened pencil in the boy's hand. We have talked about this and he nows tells us when something is wrong at school or he tells the teacher/ principal. Here lately he seems distracted, more worried about small things then actually doing what he needs to be doing, like home work, making sure i check it all and sign his book, giving me important paperwork, etc..... He is a very good boy, and i know that it is nearing the end of school, and he is tired and ready for a break and fun, but for right now he needs to concentrate on school and completing that before anything else. He doesn't want to go to bed on time, or be responsible for his actions, and he knows better. I know it's hard on my kids with me home all week, and their daddy only home on the weekends, but that is going to change very soon to where daddy will be home every night. Well i hope you all have a great evening, take care,and Hugs to all!
