[blparent] behavior problem solving

[Nikki]

Hi all. I have run into an issue with my son’s behavior in school. He came home with a note from the principal today saying that he had a hard time following directions, doing what he was told to do, and disrupting other kids in the class from learning. 





The teacher took him aside and explained to him that his behavior is disrespectful. 



Before I go any further, my son is 6 so he’s in first grade. 



But come tomorrow, after lunch, he has to go to the detention hall. I do not know what that is, but he deserves the punishment whether he likes it or not. 



My question for you is how do I rectify the behavior here at home. He has a hard time listening to what he’s told to do, then doing it. 



I had the idea of making a list of chores for my son to do here and making it into a chart or something he can help make. I just want some ideas as to what I could have him do. 

Thanks for your help.
