I have a 7 yr old boy in second grade who is having trouble staying focused. He's in the 99%tile in his grade and is bored so he talks or does things that get him into trouble. They use a color clip system that starts at green and he almost always comes home with an orange which is one clip down. Has anyone else dealt with this with their child and what did you do that actually worked. Nothing I do to discipline him for a bad color at home helps.

yeah same thing happened to my baby sister and once she hit 3rd grade they had to put her in gifted classes because she got so bored and the work was to easy for her

we didn't fully ignore our son's bad behavior because we wanted him to know boredom isn't a reason to behave badly but we tried focusing more on the positive.

That sounds like a good idea...should I just ignore the bad colors or still take things away? @jaeparm ...gifted classes don't start until third grade

Ask his teacher if he could hold a rock and keep it in his pants pocket, so he will have something to fidget with! I teach 6 year olds

our son is the same. he was so bored the first half of the year he acted out but now that they've started introducing more advanced concepts he's doing much better! I would maybe try doing a reward system, each day he gets a green clip he gets a sticker and then after so many stickers he gets a big reward like a toy or a special day trip with you of his choice. also see if his school offers classes for advanced kids.

this is how my brother was... sounds like he is too advanced for that class!! my brother could have jumped two grades but my parents didn't have the money to do what was necessary... :/ maybe try talking to the teacher and see if there is something they think might help?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.

At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?

Make your own breakfast! At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.

son getting out of car seat

son getting out of car seat So a couple days ago my son started getting himself out of his car seat while we are on the road. He will be 2 years old May 27th. He pushes the chest clip all the way down and pulls his arms and shoulders out of the straps but is still buckled at the waist. Today he did it 4 times, we had to pull over every time. What do you guys do when they start doing this? My Britax came with these long rubber strap covers but I took them off a while ago when he was to small for them. Are they to stop him from pushing the chest clip down? I just want to know if these will help before I take it apart to put them back on.
