We have known that Collin is one of the class clowns and distracts his friends at school. We hear about it from his teacher and we also witness it when we have lunch with him. When I have lunch with him, sometimes his friends tell me that he had to sit in the chair that morning because he was in trouble. We have talked about focusing in class and told him that we know when he gets in trouble thinking this would work. Nope, not yet.
I did the same thing at his age. What stopped me was when my mom came to school with one day to talk to the teacher. Whoa! Why was she there? I was great after that. Thinking this might work for Collin, we met with his teacher yesterday morning. Collin went with us some knew that we were talking to her and could hear what we were talking about.
Headed from the car to his class, he asked "Are you sad at me?". We explained that we were not but wanted to talk to his teacher about why he was being silly. We could tell he did NOT like us being there. We talked to the teacher for about 15 minutes. During that time, we discussed when it was time to be silly and when it was time to listen to the teacher. He answered the questions correctly. We gave him a hug and then left because school was starting.
His teacher said he did great that day. During dinner, we did talk about it more. Not long but just enough to keep it on top of his mind. Let's see how the rest of the week goes.
