Kayson - Behavior

It's crazy that I'm writing this post out...  as Kayson is a good kid, smart and knows what's wrong/what's right.  Unfortunately, over the past week or so, Kayson has had trouble in class at school.  Last week he got in trouble for blurting out...  basically that meant that him and some friends were probably wound up and just being rude - interrupting and blurting out, rather than raising their hands.  (Yes, I know they are in 1st Grade - it's almost summer - he's one of the popular kids, so I'm sure other friends are causing some of this - and they are probably just 'over' school).  I'm not dumb, the teacher isn't dumb either (she's actually awesome). 

So...  he was warned last week... and then yesterday (Monday) he was warned several times and continued to be disrespectful and distracting to others.  

We do not stand for this... it's not a choice, it's not what we expect out of him.  Last night we had a talk with him - as he cried (because he's our sensitive one, and he KNOWS he was in the wrong).  We've taken the iPad away for 2 weeks, he will be reading more at bedtime (cuz he kind of slacks at that), and we expect great behavior at school (and home).  

Today he is expected to have a great day - as well as we've taken recess away from him.  (That one stung a little for him).  

Again, we know this is probably 'common', but when our kid is SO good and we only hear positive things...  then we have a week of bad, it hurts and it's NO fun.  It just broke my heart last night having to have that talk with him.  

I pray that we can get through the next 5-6 weeks with positive rewards and days.
