| I have 3 boys 6, 3, and 6 months old. Today my 6 yrs. bus driver gave me an earfull on how bad my child is on the bus. Hitting, pokin, and standing up on the bus. She said other parents have been calling her because they don't want their child to sit by him. I never heard anything bad about him before. He is such a good child. As a mother I feeel like a failure. The bus driver seemed so mad and disguested with him but why didn't she address there was a problem before so I could try to talk to him about it. I feel like I just don't understand boys. Why would he do this on the bus? I am so upset with him I told him to go to his room and not to come out till tomorrow so I could calm down. I am really upset and sad. |

Hi Sheryl,
the problem with anything our kids do wrong is that immediately we think it is our fault. Expecially if something occurs in public where on the top of it they embarass us.
So once we get the guity feeling out of the way we are able to deal with the problem in a more effective way.
Talk to him and take away privileges for a while, and let him understand that if he behaves that way he is not going to have any friends. With some kids it works!

| I also have 3 boys,ages 8,4 and 2 1/2. My oldest son has also done things at school that my husband and I cannot believe! I used to feel guilty in the beginning, but when you know that you are trying your best,you can't be so hard on yourself. You may never understand why they do the things that they do, but it will get better. Alot of times, kids don't think that you will find out what is going on when you are not around. Maybe if you even do some "surprise visits" at school from time to time to let him know that you will com check on him. Just let the bus driver know that you are trying different things to improve his behavior.It helps to let them know that you are not happy with his behavior--maybe she won't be so hard on you in the future. I have my son apologize to his teacher when he acts up and take away certain things that he loves. He has to earn them back with good behavior and that seems to be working out. I have noticed that when you change the punishments, it's more effective for my son because he never knows what to expect. Hopefully this will help you out! Stay strong! |
