What's happening with my son at school?
My son is so well behaved and respectful at home but I regularly get messages from his teacher that he misbehaves at school. Tells his friends he loves them (which i think is sweet but i guess is inappropriate) then asked a girl to marry him. His teacher tried to talk to him about it and i guess he gets very frustrated and has a hard time controlling his anger. When i speak to him at home he nods and says "yes maam" and later apologizes. So I've never seen the side of him she describes that he's like at school and he just says "i dont know". I'm so frustrated because he's such a sweet boy and i dont know what to do.

Bless his little heart! I don’t see why saying I love you & ‘proposing’ (lol) would be all that big of a deal. My oldest literally picked a ring out of the prize bin last year to ‘propose’ to his little girlfriend. Lol The teachers all thought it was the cutest thing ever. His teacher is being a little hard on him, I think.

🤨 I feel like I'm missing something here....how old is his teacher?

I am curious too…

She's been teaching at the school for 20 years.

@countrypeaches42013 no thank you to her. My kids are worse at home than they are at school and I feel like most kids give the parents a harder time. I'd be investing more about this teacher cause she's giving me weird vibes. My son is all the time annoying his sisters and I'm always afraid he will be like that with his friends, I talk to him at home and tell him he needs to get permission to do anything to someone kinda thing. That little ADHD brain works without thinking first! 😄

I don’t feel like this is inappropriate at all, I mean obviously he is just a kid with a big heart.

She's always telling me about his "attitude" he gives her and that he has anger problems when she tries correcting him but I've literally never seen that before. Maybe he's just a completely different kid outside of home. I know he gravitates toward the kids that are less likely to listen and misbehave so maybe they encourage him too much. I'm not sure. I want him to be responsible for his behavior so we talked tonight but I feel a lot of it goes in one ear and out the other. I try explaining things to him but it's hard to have him understand choosing good friends and not kids that encourage you to misbehave because it looks like they're having more fun. I mean, he's 7. He's only in 1st grade. He's learning a new independence and how to be his own person away from me. I just don't know. I'm really struggling right now.

I honestly think these things are age appropriate, he's only 7, his understanding of the world and people will change with time, but for now... how do you feel about wedding planning? 😆 I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself!
Maybe you can ask the teacher what exactly she would like you to work on at home. Is it a case where the students are uncomfortable and expresses that to her, or does she have an image of how he should be at this age?

I'm honestly not sure but she keeps saying he gets frustrated very easily and can't control his anger but never witnessing that behavior from him I'm not sure how to talk to him about it. She says he gets mad at her and gives her attitude and makes mean faces at her so I have no clue. I'm looking at books for kids on coping skills and books on anger to see if they can help me help him. He's just not like that at home so idk.

It's totally appropriate but what might be making it inappropriate is if other students are feeling uncomfortable with it and not so receptive towards his behaviors.
Adrienne Kark··
That was my thought and he and I talked about it and what is and isn't appropriate and if someone tells him to stop then he needs to listen to them and respect their boundaries.

This doesn't sound inappropriate he has a big heart Brody is like this always has been. If Brody feels like he's being picked on or he's embarrassed for something he didn't think was wrong he gets frustrated and upset with the person correcting him or asking him to not do it.
Adrienne Kark··
He gets upset when he feels one of his friends is mad at him so he retaliates with being angry at them too I guess.
