This is sad. I KNOW kids need to be active and especially boys. Many carers and teachers forget this.
I worked in behaviour management for a while and many of the teachers thought I was there to give them a golden bullet for the behaviour of some children in their care. What I really did was try and change expectations and make "space" for children seen as difficult.
One of the most effective tools I used was the "go do a message" system. I lined up a few teachers/janitors/canteen ladies to be "on the list" and the teacher then sent a kid who was verging on being disruptive with an "important" note to each person getting them to sign it. The note might have said " Are you planning to attend the "X" meeting today?" Which could have actually been teacher code for are you happy to sign this piece of paper.
The kid got a good run and some outside time. The teacher had a chance to really settle the class into some work and the kid felt they were very special to go on an errand. On their return they could get the "one-one" help to start work that they needed.
I can't remember the study I read but I do remember that essentially school is feminine and we have to work hard to make it also masculine.
In reality the wages of child carers and teachers cannot really be a single wage that could comfortably support family so most people in these professions are the second earner in the family......usually women (please don't make a fuss about this statement I know there are lots of male teachers and people supporting a family on the lower end incomes).
This means that schools are places usually controlled by females and there way of approaching the world; the same goes (often more so) for child care centres.
They are aware of the needs of boys but just don't intrinsically understand them.
The activity and immediacy of boys is then less important than "quiet good" behaviour.
We then start to over value the types of behaviours girls are generally better at until the behaviours' boys are better at almost become negatives.
Then we have carers who develop unrealistic expectations of the children they care for.........most usually the boys.
Wouldn't it be lovely to hear that a boy like the one from the OP is excellent at climbing or great at peddling a bike fast or he excels at putting things away fast?
I just wish it wasn't forgotten that boys have special skills just like girls but the skills admired by carers and teachers sadly fit those that girls are better at.
