stopping the goofy behavior
OK, my 11 year old just started middle school and it is a new school where he knows nobody and the second week he came home upset because he said the boys picked on him in gym. He said they called him "gay" because he tried to kiss a boy, but he said he didn't, he was just being silly.
He KNOWS that behavior gets him picked on but his impulsivity gets the better of him. Wondering if their is any helpful advice or techniques I can give him to help.
Explain to him that kissing another boy even thought he thought it was funny is not appropriate behavior, because other children will pick up on that and will tease him. Tell him i'm sure you don't want to be teased so it's not a good idea to do that. That he also needs to control his impulses. maybe if he feels the urge to do something funny or goofy like that he could focus on something else? I hope this helps. Good luck. or you could try to get the culture of bullying eradicated at hisschool.... that would benefit a lot more people in the long run.
it would benefit society even.
and i was at a school where no bullying was tolerated so it is
not as though it is impossible. most people are fundamentally
decent and i think they would prefer to have their schools as
fun, mutually supportive places rather than sadistic, bullying
environment. where you have to watch your every step in order
to stay out of a bullies eyeline. it is the bullies themselves who
need to look to their behaviour rather than the other way round.
and the schools who allow a culture of systemic and endemic
bullying to exist who need to consider whether they are doing
their job right.The impulsiveness is hard for my daughter does "silly things" and does not even realize it. Yeah i agree that the impulsive behavior is hard to stop or control....... I am 27 with a new child of my own, my husband and i are raising his 11 year old nephew with adhd. I am at my witts end, he has his good days and then he has really bad days. Can anyone out there help me, his behavior is hateful and all we do is argue, he always wants his own way and fights us every step of the way. Someone please HELP!!!
Our school has an anti-bully program in place and its working!! I'm very impressed with the way the principal is running my son's school.
