Anti-social son starting school

What can I do (activity wise, advice, or training) to help my son not be so sensitive to other children and being disciplined by adults (when he does something wrong)? He is starting pre-k and I'm concerned he will have a lot of adjusting to do. He's my middle child his other siblings are girls, my husband is incarcerated, so he has no male contact pretty much. Either he has an attitude about not getting his way, which I tell him no not right now or try to give him a time frame which he doesnt most likely understand or he refuses to comply. If I no doesn't get his way or feels like I'm paying him attention after I reply to his request he sits there and cries. I try an calm him down by getting on his level and talking to him, sometimes it works other times he is calm for maybe 4 mins and start right back up crying harder....

When he enters this whole new world they will have you fill out paperwork. You will have to define and describe your child entirely. This is helpful. Also explain about the incarceration of his father. Any and all details really helps them do their jobs efficiently.



I say not to do anything just yet. Give them the chance to work with him. It's almost as if you are creating hesitation are your part. They are professionals and are skilled with dealing with children of his age group.



My middle child attended a Pre-K program as well called ECEAP. Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program. They did a lot of home visits, too. We had a lot of stuff going on at home and it made a big difference when I let them know about it. They have some sort of extra training that gives them skills with empathizing with people.



Anyway, you know what they say sometimes? The kid may act up at home with mom, but he is just fine for everyone else... Later on, if that's not the case they may recommend you get him tested for any other things that only a DR can diagnose. Good luck I'll cross my fingers for ya :)
