Ladies, my daughter just started first grade and she's being really wild, especially during recess. I'm thinking about giving her something to calm her down. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of behavior? How did you handle it?

What do you mean 'acts out'?
She's a child, and she's behaving like a child her age (which is exactly what she should be doing).
Since when do we give children sedatives so they can sit quietly in a corner?

Is this a joke or something?

What kind of sedatives are you planning to give her so she'll sit still?
Tranquilizers?

If things are really bad, see a neurologist to figure out the cause of her behavior.

Why shouldn't they misbehave?
This is a child who, until recently, lived life entirely for their own pleasure. Now, for a month, they've been forced to just sit in class and restrain themselves.

Of course, they need an outlet for their energy. Otherwise, they'll explode.

Complaints from the teacher? Then ask her how she plans to organize leisure time and adaptation for these first-graders so they don't hurt themselves or each other?

She can't? Then she should just keep quiet…

The child needs to expend energy. As long as it's safe.

My two cents: try giving them some games to take with them. Board games or something like that.
Maybe they'll play during recess and annoy the teacher a little less.

Olya My son's teacher writes to me every day saying he's disobedient and very naughty, especially during breaks. I don't want him to be sent to the corner, but I'd like him to be a little calmer. We talk about his behavior every day, and nothing helps, just empty promises.

What do you mean by "acting out"? Running around and yelling? That's not a crime. Just make sure he eats well, sleeps enough, and has time for outdoor play and free activities, not just gadgets. He's supposed to act out a little, he's still young and gets tired of sitting through a whole lesson. He's still adjusting.

You need to take action when the behavior is harmful. But if something like that were happening with you, you would have noticed it even before school.

Nataliya He's really hyperactive. During breaks, they have coloring pages and some games, but my little one needs to run and jump, he can't sit still.

ZVYaGINA LENA No, of course not. It's just that maybe it's hard for him after school, so to help him relax emotionally, I give him magnesium B6 at night.

nothing will help, or they'll outgrow it and adapt to the lessons, or they'll be sent to a committee. 🤷️

Viktoriya The teacher complains that he doesn't listen, is very spoiled, jumps around, and runs a lot. I've banned gadgets completely, but I don't let him spend much time on his phone either, only on the bus ride home.

Viktoriya Is she acting out during breaks? You could suggest the teacher organize their free time. Running and jumping is normal and even healthy for kids this age after sitting for a while. Let her remember what she learned about developmental psychology at her alma mater.

Nataliya He's not restless. He's a normal elementary schooler whose life has changed drastically a month ago)

Suggest after-school sports activities for him. And counter the teacher's complaints by saying, "Organize his break time activities, since they haven't learned self-control and school behavior yet."

Yes, in an ideal universe, a child's teacher would expect them to sit down for class at the start of the first lesson and not leave until the last bell rings. During breaks, they'd swap textbooks for books and sit reading, and during lessons, they'd gaze at the board and the teacher with adoring eyes.

That's the ideal universe. But real kids are different.
