Refused to go to Class

William is eating snack in my driver seat after I picked him up from Mrs. Hana class. He always has at least 10 minutes playing around in my car and eating snack before we head to Children’s world preschool.  William loves Onion rings and Shrimp Chips.

Tuesday morning.  As usual I took him to Mitchell school around 8:15 AM but today he refused to get off his car seat when we arrived at school. I used chocolate and chips but he said no to both; finally I told him he could play in the sand box then he let me carry him of the car seat and put him in his stroller to get to his class.  But then when we got to his classroom, he refused to get in.   He cried with tears coming off his face, sitting down on the concrete floor in front of the classroom door. Finally when I told him he could take the pillow with him to the room, then he stood up and walked in.

Yesterday when I picked him up, Mrs. Hana said that he was easily upset the whole day. He either sat in the corner or ran to the bathroom and sat there without peepee.  Mrs. Hana had no idea what was going on with him.

Today when I picked him up, Mrs. said she found out what’s wrong.  She said she has more students than 1 lunch table can handle so she arranged a 2nd table.  When she asked him to come to the yellow lunch table, that was when he totally lost it.  Other time is that she turned on the Mickey Mouse video, he said “Trolls” and totally lost his temper again.  In her conclusion, if things are not the way he wanted then he’d act out like that.  When she said “we’ll watch Trolls tomorrow” then he’d calm down.  She said, at least now she knows what triggers his behaviors, she’ll know how to calm him down and gradually teach him to tolerate more to changes.
