Hi, my 4.5 year old son is acting aggressively in school with some bizzare behaviours as described by his teacher at PTM today. While he can sometimes be difficult at home, i find his aggressive behaviour is beginning to come home with him. He is an articulate, clever little boy who met all his developmental milestones. He can sometimes not listen to adult direction and continue to do whatever it is he is intent on doing, eg during swimming lessons, wander off in pool & ignore instructor (this came after a few weeks of lessons when he felt confident in water & can be disruptive in drama class he's enrolled in as hes not interested, but its paid up so he's going!!)
