Mad
Little Fayoumis had a neutral day at school today. He hit another kid, and consequently went to time out. The rest of the day was good, though.
I asked him about what had happened. I seem to have developed a technique for probing into those endless loops that kids get into. I can't exactly explain how it works, but it seems to... I ask around the question, different ways, just like I'd do with a search engine.
Evidently, what was going on, was he was not paying attention, the other kid was paying attention, LF's feelings were mad, and he hit the other kid. He had been frustrated about something. It may have involved the bathroom's energy. It may (exceptionally tenuously) may have involved black guys not at school smoking.
Asked him if he'd told Teacher when he was frustrated. Nope. He knows it doesn't help him when he doesn't tell Teacher when he's frustrated, and it does help him when he does tell Teacher that he's frustrated. He knows that when he's mad and he hits someone he gets time out.
Advised him that when he knows he's mad and going to get time out, to stop and count to himself and that can be his time out before he hits someone. He's been doing fairly well with the counting at home...
