The the other day he tells me that he doesn't listen to his parents or anyone else and he doesn't have to listen to me. Other children in the preschool are afraid of him. You can name everything that a child might do that would be really bad, and that decribes this kid. And this morning, he threatened a kid. While he was on time out, one other little boy(the boy being bullied) came uo to him and politely used his words to say, "I don't like it when you punch and kick me." (And this awful boy hit a little girl with a butter knife at breakfast). So then he told this sweet little boy, "If you EVER talk to me again, you are DONE FOR! Do you hear me? DONE!"
That was a really bad threat. He sasses the teachers and kicks and punches them as well. He also has a foul mouth.
What can I do about him? How can I handle him when he is out of control? If it wasn't for him, my classroom would be at great peace.
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my opinion do your job as a teacher like you would with any other kid you notice has any type of problems -
1. have the school psychologist spend some time with him.
2. have the school nurse spend some time with him. sometimes someone other than the teacher can get to the bottom of students problems.
3. have a parent teacher conference to discuss the problem and to find out if there have been any changes in the home ie divorce, separation, pregnancy, a death in the family, parents having problems like financial,making ends meet,a move in the future they are preparing for, laid off from work.
4. have a teachers conference, all the schools around here have team meetings where the teachers get together to plan things and compare notes on the students and help each other solve teaching problems like an unrulely child, a child who ie IEP'ed, disabled whatever.
4 have the child academically tested sometimes children act or because they are either bored because the school work is too easy or because its too hard for them.
after all else is done and if it turns out the child isnt learning disabled, a child genius who is bored, isnt reacting from abuse or family problems what ever then its time to come up with consequences for his unruley actions - loss of recess, writing, send tot he principals office, in school detention, after school detention, just like you would any other child who was misbehaving in your classroom.
