Thank you for responding so quickly to my inquiry. It amazes me how easily we adults can also "get ourselves into a stew" over situations.
I appreciate your advice. Thank you again.
Dear Tania,
If the problem is confined to the several occurrences you mentioned, it is likely not a cause for alarm. Approach the meeting at school with an open mind and curiosity about what has occurred, and see what the various staff members have to say.
Sometimes, with children who tend to be shy, they suppress feelings of anger and irritation, dwelling on the irritant and 'getting themselves in a stew', so to speak. It sounds like your son got himself worked up about the prospect of a problem before it even occurred, and then responded disproportionately when the girl bothered him. This manner of handling the anticipation of problems can be managed fairly readily, so I don't expect it's going to be too difficult to help your son.
