If you really think he was serious about what he said - not knowing why he was smiling, happy, etc -I'd keep and extra close eye on him right now - if you see this behavior or similar behavior continue, I'd consult with the school social worker or psychiatrist.

I agree, but the fact is this-he does this often. He gets into trouble and smiles. That kind of bothers me.


well i missed that fact in the original post, that he does this often...

But again...some kids are mischieveous...

LORD knows i made my lil sisters life hell for a lONG time...

kids grow out of it...

How old are they?

I didn't say in the first post that he does this often. Sorry about that. Anyway, they are 1st graders, so 6-ish. And I know they are mischievious, believe me, they can get into amazing things. But the others feel bad when they get into trouble. He smiles when he gets into trouble.


honestly...and this is just my opinion...

i think this kinda thing happens. I remember it when i was a kid.
It is kid behavior..

I think people tend to overreact to kids behavior in schools these days..

Some may even think that the kid that was hysterical over having his foot stepped on is a tad odd too....

A lot of times smiling or laughing is a nervous reaction to getting into trouble.

Negative attention may be the only way he feels he can get attention. Try praising him whenever he does even the littlest thing that is positive and see if he responds after a few times. I've seen kids like this, it's usually an attention thing.

Re: What does this behavior say to you?

I would speak to the parent. It could be nothing, it could signify an emotional problem where he doesnt know how to express his emotions or gets mood swings where he is feeling devilish one minute and then sorry and regretful the next. Thats not normal for a young child.

I wouldnt say its a huge issue, but I dont think I could let it go either, because you just dont know with kids, and if your around them all the time teaching and you had enough of an instinct to ask us about it, it means you are wondering about his emotions and thats enough for me to say try bringing it up to him in another way or his parents in a gentle way,

Maybe contact the school psychologist if you are really worried.

Believe me, I'm praising him on anything I can reach for. Chat Icon And his parents are of no help. They hate me and want my blood. I've tried to express my concerns to them and I get blamed for everything he does. They'll be blaming me till he is 30, I swear. Chat Icon I just see his path going down. Chat Icon


but honestly...he is 6
can we really say that just yet?

I would wait...and if it is really repetitive maybe a talk in the principles office may help

My FIL and his wife got brought to the school psychologists office because my sil was crying one day.
For the chinese NY they all had special lunchs and when it was her turn, they ran out and she got a reg sandwich...and started to cry.

They talked to my IL's asking if she is having any usual stress Chat Icon

Re: What does this behavior say to you?

What is the problem with the parents? What do they say? Sounds like based on their reaction, they coudl be a part of the problem if there is one.

I dont think its a matter of age, when your an expert in the field of children, you have to trust your instinct...and I think many parents and society in general would applaud you for taking the time to even question if this behavior is something he cannot control.

It may just be the way he reacts when he is nervous.... I know this because as a child I had the same problem... and sometimes still do... when I got in trouble, I'd be smiling or giggling and it was just the way I reacted to my anxiety..... maybe that's just his reaction...

thats more then likly exactly what it is..Have seen it a lot in kids...but at the same time, thats not a healthy way to deal with stress, your peers react badly to it and he can easily be taught if thats the problem how to better handle himself..

I dont think anyones thinking the kids a pyschopath in the making, simply trying to help him cope with emotions before he gets older.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I have had this problem many times.
