Howdy - I have a 7 year old with DS who is doing pretty well. She's

mainstreamed in our local school and has a number of friends. The big problems

we're having in school (one of many problems this year unfortunately - it's been

a rough year and I'm wondering if we shouldn't look into another placement).

The big problem I'm having right now is that she's hitting people. She'll do a

" friendly " thump on the head of people when they walk by her desk in class.

She's shoving and pushing on the playground equipment at recess. Afterschool

today (I want to vomit when I remember seeing this) she was walking up a slide

while a younger boy slid down. She got upset and actually pushed him down and

punched him in the face a number of times.

I don't think it's fair or right to make everyone else accommodate her - she has

to stop. How do I get her to stop? She knows it's not right. She wants to go

say she sorry afterwards - often times by roughly grabbing the person so that

they'll look at her so she can say sorry. She's very smart - she KNOWS it's

wrong. No one wants to spend time with her when she's like this. I wouldn't

want my child to spend time with another child who is so rough. In the long

run, this is really bad for her and I can see a path to isolation and loneliness

in front of her.

What have you done to temper this type of reaction?
