comment Typical frequency of discplinary issues for a kindergartener?
Rain, I wonder if teachers are encouraged to document discipline issues to protect themselves from the accusations of parents or if it is primarily for to benefit the child's development?

comment Typical frequency of discplinary issues for a kindergartener?
Let's try to remember that this behavior, playing, fighting and talking, is normal for a five year old and that quietly sitting at a desk while the teacher is talking is unusual behavior.

comment What do you do to help an ADHD kid get along in the classroom or with school work better?
Could you provide more details of the problems the student is facing? It is difficult to give solid suggestions for coping without solid examples of problems. Some important info I feel is needed: is the child diagnosed by aphysician as having ADHD? was this diagnosis suggested by the teacher or school representative? What are the problems? What are the consequences of the child's behavior? Please expand your question.

comment What can be done when a child cuts his or her hair?
-1: I like the idea that certain behaviors have natural consequences, but I don't like the tone of "stupid choices." I doubt she chose to give a bad hair cut. She probably wanted to recreate the special feeling of attention she gets at the hair salon. Or something like that. Anyway maybe the lesson is "sometimes experiments fail". Or "we need to practice things before we do the for real."

comment How to avoid corporal punishment?
Please consider your own behavioral control in addition to your child's behavioral control as part of the problem you are trying to solve. As you have described it in your question you are losing control when you hit your son. Maybe another question is in order. "How can I maintain my composure when my children are provoking me to anger?"

comment Toddler likes to hurt herself?
You can think of spinning in circles as a game where pleasure and pain (at least discomfort) are mixed up. But it seems clear that it is normal and healthy play found in children everywhere.
