This is the 3rd week of school and I have this 6- year old boy in my class who is quite different from the other kids. Although, the mommy has already advised me about his son but I and my partner teacher have found out that he is more than just an active boy as the mommy has informed us.
From the things he displays in the classroom we found out that he is delusional and this really has a big impact to his classmates and the teachers as well. He believes that he is the best of the best kid in the world and he feels that his classmates don't think so. For this reason, he often scream in class insisting me to punish the whole class for not thinking so.
Being the homeroom teacher, I have to find ways with other teachers to help him out.So far we have tried a few strategies like, giving him positive reinforcements and praises but as days progresses he seemed to be getting worst and our strategies does not work in him anymore. Now, he started becoming violent for reason, he insists that everybody hates him and everybody does not think he is smart and the best in the world.
I had at least 2 conference with him and he seemed fine he even hugged me and promised to do better in class but after some time all is forgotten.
To my fellow mylot users I would like your comment and some suggestions that I could probably try out to help this particular student. I am in a regular school and the school is quite new this is the 3rd year operation.

Why are you the one having to fix this kid? Where are his parents in all this? You should have a serious talk with them about getting some help for the little narcissist. After all they probably have something to do with the way he is. Kids don't think they are the best for no reason. It's because someone has constantly told them they are. Obviously this one let it go to his head.

From my experience, parents in this school I work for are mostly kind of -in denial stage. So it is also difficult on my part how I could communicate honestly to the parents without hurting their egos basically we can't diagnose a kid as such but when they become violent to others it really causes a big problem.
I am also thinking that it might be from the environment at home considering he's the only child and that he comes from the upper upper class. Today, he caused trouble again to the extend that we had to rush one student to the hospital hitting his face on the edge of the table just all because of him.
Well, thank you for the response!

Well, thank you for the information i will take note of it. From my observation he is really one of a kind and i feel so sorry that I could not be of big help to him. Yeah, I've already referred him to our school psychologist and he's under observation.
Thank you!
