Misbehaving Second Grader

Our second-grader has been in school for almost nine weeks, and he has behavior problems. He is unable to stay in his seat. If he happens to be in his seat, he is always talking. The teacher says he never stops. I am running out of ideas on how to discipline him when he gets home at night. -- Tired
Answer: You can discipline him when he gets home, but it is too late to do much good. Do go to his school and observe his behavior, and see if you have any suggestions for the teacher.
This teacher needs to become pro-active. The school's behavior specialist or a mentor should come and observe your son in class. Then a behavior intervention plan can be developed to improve his behavior. If this doesn't work after a few weeks, he may need to be tested to see if there is some underlying reason for his behavior.
