DH says cancel our trip! We were planning to take DS out of school for 4 days at the end of Oct beginning of Nov. for a trip. He loves Halloween and I though MNSSHP would be perfect. My DS just started Kindergarten and is having a very hard time adjusting. He is an only child and has only been in my DM's daycare with only a couple other kids to deal with. He is really having a hard time with the other kids sharing and telling him what to do. He hates other kids bossing him around so he reacts by hitting. We had a meeting with the teacher, principal and councilor (sp?) and they said he is very impulsive, but not mean to the other kids. They said he doesn't hit hard, just kind of slaps them. We are going to try some techniques to stop this behavior asap, but DH says we shouldn't pull him out for a trip . I even suggested we postpone until next fall, but DH is so discouraged that he thinks we may never pull him out. I am caught in the middle and am stressed out. I dread picking my DS up everyday and reading the notes from the teacher. He has only been in school a week! I have no "support group" around here because everyone I know has "perfect children"! (Ha, Ha) I have been a SAHM for the last 3 years and am having a horrible enough time without him around, but now with the school problems I have been a basket case for the last week. I was going to get a PT job, but DH wants me to wait and see what happens with DS. Anyone have any ideas about the trip? How about any moral support with the school issues? I would love to hear any stories about your kids bad behavior and how they turned out fine. I guess I just need some cheering up.
