IF A PARENT SUGGESTED TO PUT THEIR CHILD IN A BOOT CAMP IT DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE A BAD PARENT....SOME OTHER KIDS SOMETHING ACT DIFFERENT TO OTHER PEOPLE NOT IN THEIR HOUSE....LIKE IN SCHOOL OR DAYCARE...

I know things can seem hopeless and that bootcamp would be an excellent thing for our kids at times. I'm wondering if perhaps you considered other options first?
If a child is not able to listen, obey, respect, remember simple directions, etc, it may be a good idea to take them to a therapist before resorting to boot camps. they can do many tests to make sure there isnt something wrong that may be making it so hard to obey their parents.
What I'm getting at is this:
It may not be your child's fault. There may be a behavioral problem that cannot be fixed through a boot camp session, or any amount of parenting. It may be something that needs medical assesment and therapy.
Please consider this before resorting to casting any child away from the home and into a loveless environment where orders are shouted to them. Boot camps can be traumitizing, and I'd hate to see anyone go to one who has not tried every other possible solution first!

Seems to me you are having problems at home that his teacher is seeing at school. You wanted to file a restraining order against his teacher earlier this year so I would imagine that is why they send him home. Your child sounds like he needs discipline and some help. You must be a partner with the school and not work against the teachers. If you are looking for a boot camp at age six, what will he need at 15? Seek professional help and both of you get counseling.

why in heavens name would there be a boot camp for a 6 year old child? If you cant control a 6 year old its your fault not a problem with the child! Maybe you should try some parenting classes.

No, but there are parenting classes out there - at adult schools for very cheap. That way you can find out if it is a parenting problem or a health issue. A six year old should not need boot camp. You need to gain control of the situation immediately - look to your community services for help - they are often free or very inexpensive.

It's called lots of love and patience. First of all, quit calling the child a "problem". Children have a tendency of turning into what you expect them to be. It doesn't matter if they hear you or not. Second, turn off the tv and all video games. Positive reinforcement works much better than negative and make sure you throw in some good physical labor or chores done side by side with you. You would be amazed at how much you can learn from a 6 year old and what is going on in their lives if you take the time to find out. I hope this helps, 6 years old is pretty young to be labled a problem for the rest of your life.

No but a school with strict rules may help. A child this age is easily led into better behavior in a school that has high standards of behavior. Children in schools with uniforms tend to be stricter and more effective with problematic children. Also, the Catholic schools are still more effective with all children with any behavioral issues.

The boot camp is a "do it at home kit" all it requires is a chair, them bare bottomed over your lap getting a spanking. I can't see a 6 year old needing boot camp. Spanking yes, boot camp no.

holy crap!! I bet the other people who have answered this don't even have a six year old. I agree to an extent that my daughter is the way she is because of me but i'd say we both need bootcamp. But by the reaction here I think that society probably wouldn't allow it...yard work, she likes to sweep and mop the floor (some cinderella thing) so I let her do those things and get pooped!!

Parenting classes will help you understand your child's needs better. In todays world children want to be part of society I was brought up in a house were children should be seen and not heard I had lots of emotional problems to work out when grown up. You should contact Super Nanny if you like she can help.

I would ask your local DCFS or Department of Child and Family Services...they will know for sure. There's nothing wrong with asking...and they may even have some local help for you. My hubby and I are biological parents and also foster parents. and with our foster kids it's AMAZING how much help there is out there that people just don't use! So ask DCFS...they're great with helping!
Good luck!
