my son either not responding willingly or stubborn-i am confused

hi Piyali Mondal ! how is he at home? is he responding to his name? is he following instructions given by you? is he sitting at one place at home?

yes mam. he is responds at home and also follows general instruction. but he doesn't sit anywhere for long time specially during eating.

But he is quite moody. when he becomes angry or starts crying , we can't understand.

he just can answer only what where TYPE question not why how TYPE.

so do u think he might not be able to understand teacher's instructions , that's y he is not respomding?

yes he understands the instructions as he is saying that anty wanted the copy. then I asked "so why don't you submit the copy?". but he answered nothing. just saying "I will give the copy tomorrow". but everyday the same is happening.

ok it could be related to moodiness only. tell him if he would give his notebook, she would check it and give it back with a star or smiley stickers on it. also if she likes the work she might make everyone clap for him.. also tell him to follow teacher's instructions as u used to do when u were of his age.. at home also give similar instructions and praise him when he follows. hope this helps!

Thanks a lot. But after the teacher's complain we made him practice to do the same at home. He also followed that. but at school he doesn't. I will definitely say him about the teacher's applause. Thank you very much.

Dear Piyali, This type of children are common. No need to worry. They're reserved type. They may answer or respond to only those people they like the most. I handled children like this. But if they're driven properly, chances are there to lead him to a gr8 man. I recommend you to give him some instructions like how to respond, how to talk, etc yet would've done it already and kindly note that this can be performed only when he's in a happy mood. These type of children have higher capacity of understanding while they're happy. Choose the correct time. We can't expect a sudden change. But, slowly they'll try to do things as u instruct. All the best.

Thanks a lot sasirekha. thanks for your great suggestion.

sasirekha and shikha both of you were right. my son doesn't like the class teacher at all. he willingly doesn't respond in school. he writes letters numbers,recognize colour at home but not in school in front of his teacher. many other guardians in the class face the same problem. now it is clear this is not my son's problem but the teacher's problem.
