How can i make my 5 yrs. old son behave in school?

Question

he is always talking and roaming around even when the teacher is talking in front of the class

Answer 1

he is of the age to learn 'cause and effect'.  time to teach him.  explain to him that if he behaves for the week, he'll get a special treat (fave dinner, movie rental, something small that won't break your budget).  but, on the other hand, if he doesn't, he gets nothing.  no t.v., no special anything, and he can spend his weekend at the house.  the choice is his.  if he doesn't behave, he gets grounded, if he's good he gets a reward.  just like in real life.

Answer 2

Tell your son that every week if he behaves in class you will take him somewhere special, or give him a little treat you know get inside the kids brain.

That's what most adults fail to do, ask yourself what would you do if you where back in school and 5yrs old how would you act? Kids often at that age are very hyper, and you can't change that, you might want to but you can't.

After a few weeks ask the teacher how your son has been acting and if he is doing well celebrate with him Praise him, or if he didn't do so well just tell him he wouldn't be able to watch t.v. all day, or go to a super fun place or get some cookies.

       Good Luck!

Answer 3

reward the good behavior but also punish the bad. Tell the teacher to give your son 3 strikes if he breaks the 3 strikes he must stand in the corner and balance a book on his head, if he drops it on purpose or plays around more, he has to put more books on his head, or) he has to hold his arms out straight while holding one heavy book in each hand for about 2 minutes

Answer 4

Look i know you love your child and prolly dont want to hurt him or upset him or make him mad but he needs a little smack on the leg and some disipline

Answer 5

Interesting.  How does he behave at home? Does he walk away from you when you are talking?  Get up from the table without permission?   The reason why I'm asking is to help you decide whether this is a school situation or a home situation.  You aren't there to "make him behave"...so what can you do?

A typical five year old can understand and remember conversations.  So have you discussed this with your boy?  Ask him why he does it.  You might find the answer very interesting.  Your goal is to get to the root of the "problem".

A typical five year old can understand a reward system.  Work with the teacher on some goals and ask her if she would be willing to do a "marble jar" or something similar and when a goal is met then reward the child with a predecided reward.  Not necessarily junk food/candy, or matieral object.

What does the teacher have in place for behavior modification?  I think maybe you need to have a parent/teacher conference to work together on this situation.  How long is he expected to sit?  Many five year olds...especially boys...still get "ants in their pants" after a certain amount of time.  They can be "trained" :-).  You can work with it at home.  Sitting longer at the supper table each day.  Having "have-to" tasks that start out with 5 minutes then progress into larger increments of time.

Is there any possibility that there is some underlining "disability" that makes it difficult to control himself or to sit for periods of time?

Good luck!

Answer 8

It sounds to me like the teacher is talking too much.  Are you sure the teacher shouldn't behave?

To me, if I notice a student that wanders too much, I have to re-evaluate what is happening in the classroom and determine why I am not meeting the needs of that child.

Answer 9

REWARD GOOD BEHAVIOR LIKE CRAZY! REWARD REWARD REWARD. iF HE BREAKS ANY OF THE RULES HE DOESN'T GET HIS REWARD. TRY MARBLES IN A JAR AND A BIG TREAT AT THE END OF THE WEEK OR EVERY FEW DAYS.

Answer 10

You cannot make him behave, but you can reward good behavior!  Try having the teacher send home a piece of paper every day with a report of sorts on it.  Since he is young make it stickers or stars or something he can read!  If he is good he gets a sticker on the fridge.... at the end of the week think of a reward.... his favorite supper, a play park he enjoys, a movie of his choice.  Just be creative and he will come around to it.  If he know he gets a treat just for listening in school he will try harder!  Good luck!
