My 4 1/2 year old son is in junior kindergarten, half days mornings. He is almost always the last one ready to go from the class. He just messes around and distracts the other students. I have a short lunch and don't have time for that. I've tried rewards eg he can play for a few minutes if he is out sooner, but he doesn't seem to care. There isn't much else that I can focus on as he goes straight to the babysitters from school.
He is also talking back, being rude and throwing tantrums. Time outs and taking toys away aren't helping. He seems to have gotten overly sensitive to how we talk to him and assumes that we are being rude, yelling etc when we definitely aren't. He also says we are hurting him when we aren't (eg if he isn't sitting still to be buckled in his seat, he will say that I am hurting him). It's like he doesn't understand what he is doing is causing the problem. I am 27 weeks pregnant and I am having such a hard time dealing with this. My husband is helping as well.
