Have you ever been frustrated with your group?

[Inspired by Reggio]

Yup - I have had days where my group is all sitting on a carpet square in various well spaced apart areas of the playroom doing 'alone' things because they are just NOT being nice friends and it was best for everyone to have some quiet time to calm down myself included - those Lord of the Flies days of mutiny where children realize 'hey if we all tag team we can gain the upper hand here' and you have to be extra firm with consequences to help they realize that you are indeed IN CHARGE here.

I agree with full disclosure as well - I always explain days like that to clients at pick up so that they are hearing it from ME first hand verses some child filtered warped perception of the days events during dinner time conversation
