naughty son

5514 in reply to 5514#1 posted Feb 1
We moved to a different city one month ago.Since than, Max ,my 3,5 y.o. son has become very naughty. He misbehaves all the time at school- he is very noisy and disturbs his teacher during class.At home is not even better ...seems like he needs attention most of the time. I am loosing my patience sometimes. I do not know that to do...maybe all those  changes recently make him a different kid???

The big move definitley could be playing a role in his behavior.  Try to keep a record of exactly what is sparking/triggering the behavior as well as how you respond to it.  This will help you figure out if he is doing it to get attention or not.  Have you thought about writing a social story for him to help him understand his feelings with the move?  You might also want to try creating a safe space for him to retreat to with you that he knows is his own and will stay consistant (i.e. bean bag in corner with a box full of his favorite books).

Here are a few sites with information on social stories.

Once you have the general idea of what they are and how they work, you can start to create ones that fit your needs best, or buy the resources you feel will work best.

Hi wendy

No worries.. I did have the same situation in the past.We moved from England to Usa few years ago . New place, new friends and different culture was a bit overwhelming for me.I was not surprised when my son seemed lost,too. But we got over it.  All you need is to give your family some time to adjust to all those changes. Your son needs to feel that no matter where, he is always important and loved by you. He might need more attention now but it will not take forever. Soon he will get used to new situation.
