We had an incident at school yesterday.
Contrarian pissed off one of the girls by throwing her books around. She smacked him on the knee. Contrarian pushed her and ended up scratching her in the face.
It's difficult finding out the finer details of the matter but I am deeply unhappy that he scratched her in the face. It tells me that there was a 'violent' altercation.
There were no adults in the classroom when it happened. The assistant was off sick and the regular teacher was replaced with a temp.
I'm considering asking the school to let me know when there are temps so that I can keep contrarian at home on those days.
These kind of incidents just put us so far behind again. It's the first one in a very long time but it really doesn't help his situation with the girls in the class.
I still haven't decided on how to deal with this but I'll start with no TV for a couple of days. It will give us time to talk about anger management and solutions.
We had a meeting with the teacher last week. She felt that things are going much better.
I noticed the following:
Contrarian looks her in the eyes when she is talking to him.
He pays attention to what she has to say and he doesn't get off his chair and walk away the way he used to.
She is much more confident in dealing with him and firmer - which is a good thing!
Everything else is going well at the moment.
