How can I make my 7 year old behave in school?

I have a 7 year old son and his teacher called me today saying that he was disturbing class. He sometimes gets out of the way and thinks he should get what he want’s. How can I make him mind me at home and while he is at school? What kind of punishments can I give him? He is the type that always wants to be in the middle of things and he wants to fight and he talks aloud while he is in class. The teacher said that he will do his homework but he wants attention all the time. They have offered the paddle, to paddle him but I don’t know if that will help him or not. I’m a single parent and it’s hard. And they said that they might have to send him home for a few days. How can I make him be a good student and mind the teachers and keep his hands to himself. he is sitting at a desk all to himself at school but that doesn’t help him stay quiet while in class. Any help would be very appreciated.

Well there are a few ways. you could try the little prize routine. Kepp in touch with the teacher, and find out if he’s been doing good. If he has been doing great for like a whole week, or an amount of chosen time, then maybe take him out on a little vacation or buy him a nice little toy. That usually works with little kids. You could also tell him that if he doesn’t behave, you’ll take away his favourite thing.

But the most effective thing you can do is sit down, talk to him, and find out why he is acting this way. maybe something is making him feel bad and he just wants to ramble on to get some fun. Maybe he doesn’t have many friends, and is trying to get some buy being the big guy. Or maybe someone is teasing him and he wants to feel bigger in the situation by making himself feel known. then try to work on a crompomise and help him to fix his problem, whihc is why keeping in good contact with his teacher is a great idea. And don’t push him to progress too fast. he might go a bit slower then you want him to, but if he feels like he’s pressured, he’ll just work against you.

Hope this helps. And good luck!

It has to be learned at home. Behavior, that is. there are many articles, books, and websites to help you out. Just Google “child discipline.” Here is one of them:
