get him evaluated for autism. 1 out of 3 boys have it. It's a learning disability and he'll need special education. I have 3 sons, and amazingly enough, my middle son has Asberger's. It's a form of Autism, and he was the same way when starting school. Still like that at the begining of every school week. It's exhausting.

My son went through the same thing. I think that most of it was that he was SO tired after kindergarten! We don't realize how much energy a kinder expends in one day! He went to daycare and I made sure that he got a snack when he got there and then got put down for a nap, and was consistant with bedtime at home and things slowly got better as he adjusted. We went through it at the start of first grade too. He just started 2nd and seems to be doing alright! It's a big transition for those little guys- new friends, new environment, new expectations from the grown-ups... give him some time, make sure his needs are being met, and I bet it will calm down soon! Good luck :)

Dont freak out! Kids go through stages...and starting Kindergarten is a very big deal! Be understanding that he is dealing with a lot and be there for him, listen to him and help him, BUT......be firm. Remember, your the grown up! Set the boundries and rules...and if he totaly blows it punish him...always follow through with it. If you say your going to take away his toys when he misbehaves and then you dont you are showing him that your a push over and he can walk on you. Dont allow that to happen....in a nutshell...just be a good parent!!

I would seek the teacher's advice on why his behavior is so different now. Maybe other kids are influencing him? There are so many factors that may be affecting him at school.
Also, it may be a way for him to let you know that he is growing independent. I think you should regain more control, make the consequences harder, and let him know who's the parent here.

He is going thru a huge transition, They compare kindergarten to medical school because of the huge change in their life.He will settle down and remember he is now out in the world with all kinds of kids and he is testing...

Welcome to parenthood!!!!Keep on him and don't give up, maybe its his way of getting your attention, let him know how much you care about him.
