My son is in 1st grade and has already been involved in 2 fist fights. (one he didn't start) He continues to throw fits and not listen to his teacher. This doesn't happen daily just every once in awhile. What possibly could be wrong with him. He also throws fits at home.

I feel infinitely knowledgeable to answer this question! My daughter, now an 11 year old, was kicked out of 4 nursery schools! She disturbed the class, had temper tantrums, threw things etc. Screw anyone who trys to tell you it is your poor parenting skills! If you are here asking, you care! She ended up in a special care/education nursery school and thru that teachers help we were able to identify her problems...you will never guess...
FOOD ALLERGIES! AND YEAST INTOLERANCE! Has your son had a lot of ear infections, does he have dark circles under his eyes? Have him checked immediately for food allergies. My daughter was allergic "a little bit" to over one dozen foods and after we removed them from her diet she was like a new kid. Along with giving her live, good bacteria. When they get meds for ear infections or colds this kills the good bacteria they need to digest food and kill the yeast that builds up in everyone's system. Get a good book on yeast and you will be amazed what yeast can do to a person's whole chemistry. Try this before you try drugs and psychologists!
When our daughter was old enough to explain she cried and told us she was not able to control it...no caffeine, cut back on refined sugar, corn, preservatives and wheat...those are the main ones.

It depends a lot on other parts of his behaviour. He could be acting out because of being uncomfortable in school, either with other students, or a learning issue.
It could be another problem that you might want to check into the possibility of it, although it would have shown up sooner than now, is ADHD. A normal doctor can not diagnose ADHD, but a mental services professional can help in that department. But he would been showing signs before, any type of hyperactive disorder would have shown up before now. Is he unusually active? Does he do things without thinking that are dangerous, and is it repetitive?
But if he is just acting out once in awhile, its normal. He is a bit on the aggressive side, and he could very well simply be frustrated with something. Is he behind in any subject at school? Has the teacher noticed any anti-social behaviour? What leads up to the fits?
You really need to analyze what is going on around him, what he says, how he says it. Try to get him to talk (how do things make him feel...).
I have 3 boys, and one more on the way, but my 2 oldest are kinda crazy. My 2nd youngest was diagnosed with ADHD, and throws 'fits' once in awhile, either at home or at school. The eldest was also diagnosed with it, but simply is a bit overactive and has some trouble with certain subjects in school.
It really is a matter of getting to the root of the problem, and if you can't then find someone who can. Especially if his behaviour gets worse, or before you find that you can't handle the problems anymore.
Good luck!

My brother got sent to the Principal's office 4 times in his 2nd grade year for fighting with other children. He threw fits and was a very violent person.
He's now 15 years old, and still is somewhat violent. One time, I invaded his personal space and we ended up fighting, and he broke my elbow.
The moral of the story is that there are Psychologists out there that teach disciplinary techniques so that children don't end up like that.
Also, if your child has siblings or parents that are violent, it will affect the way he behaves. If that is the case, then I would suggest family counseling or SuperNanny.

Well its a possbilty he could be upset about something. Think back to when the fits first started. Was it when he started the 1st grade? Maybe something is going on at school and he is not sure how to tell you. Sit him down and talk to him to figure out if something is bothering him or if something is going on at school. Its not normal for a 1st grader to want to fight. If nothing works take him to the docters to see if maybe something is going on mentaly. Try thinking of what could possibly triggering these fits. Good luck

Does his father live with you? Does he have your back on disciplinary actions? Is there consistancy? Is it done with love and not frustration and anger? Keep in mind ADD and ADHD are over diagnosed. There is a "war on drugs" and they are not the answer. I recommend you read "The Indigo Children". Read it in search of truth and a very open mind. It's a great read. The least thing you will come away with is you'll be a better parent the best thing is you'll be a better parent. Your child will love you for it. I know mine does and I love me more too.

maybe your son is stressed from a new beginning. Some kids cry while others fight. its the fight or flight things when we are scared. When he's stressed he knows he cant run away because thats even scaryier so he becomes physical. I would suggest getting him involved in some thing that will teach him how to channel himself and how to show how he is feeling. He's probly just as confused as you. Hang in there.

A child learns what he sees! I think you need to possibly take a look at the people that may be teaching him theese behaviors. I would also look into how you disipline him, that can play a big part in a childs acting out!

One thing that might help, is discipline. Make sure he knows youre the boss, and not him. If you let him do it without punishment that isnt severe enough, that doesnt bother him in other words, hell keep doing it
i remember this from young, i used to misbehave, and once i started getting stuff that actually meant something, i quit.

I've been there right along with you, I have a 6 year old son.
Sounds like adhd, and odd.
Maybe taking your son to a dr would be the ideal suggestion.
