Brief description:
NJ can react sometimes very aggressive when the teacher gives him a remark: he destroys books, draws on tables/closets/...., hits with a stick on the window/teachers, he throw with furniture,...It is an action-reaction game: he looks if the teachers is looking at him and he react then, he tries to hide/run away. He pushes the limits. Often he refuses to work. He loves to write but when he has finished his work he tears it to pieces. When he doesn't get any choices it is easier for him to follow the rules.
It is very difficult for him to sit still: he stands up without a reason, lets himself fall on the carpet,.. Sometimes he makes some harassing noises.
In interaction with his peers: it is difficult for him when the other children doesn't want to play the game like he does. Sharing his toys is difficult.
Place: classroom, gym less and playground
Setting: when he gets a remark or when it doesn't go like he wants
