Hmmm ~ I do not do the aggression thing ~ first sign of that and they would loose their option to play around anyone for a long while anytime I was not right there to 'support' them in their play ~ they would have their space defined by a carpet square or a hula hoop and they could 'do something quiet' within that ALONE until they showed that they could be trusted to be with the group again by making good choices during the times I am there.

If they choose not 'stay' in their defined space and play during those times than they would have to come with me if I was doing something and not there to support them ~ aka hold the diaper while I change a bum, stand at the bathroom door and recite the ABC while I go pee and so forth ... if they are 'wee' than they would be in the playpen or booster seat while my hands are busy if they were in a stage of hurting others.

IMO if they were 'misbehaving' here ~ jumping on my couch and making poor play choices by disrupting the toys or equipment than they would have to earn back the trust to be able to do anything FUN while I prepared lunch ~ meaning they would be sitting at the table the day they had 'offending behavior' and be doing NOTHING but sitting quietly thinking about making better choices tomorrow ~ if they threw a fit about consequence than they would be on their BED instead cause I do not want to listen to that and when you remove the 'attention' they are getting it ends quicker. Next day they would be sitting at the table again with with 'books' to read or 'puzzles' and if they show me they can be trusted and respect that options than next day I would try them back in the livingroom to play with the group after 'reviewing' the expectations with them and if they 'misbehaved' again than it would restart with the day of nothing and than LONGER with having to stay within eye sight of me reminding them they have to 'earn the trust back by making good choices at the table' before trying again to be playing with peers while my hands are busy!

To me that is logical consequence ~ if you want to be within the group you need to be respectful of each other and the toys and equipment and if you CANNOT than you need to be 'contained' away from the group anytime I am not able to be right there to 'support and guide you' ... simple as that!

The expectation in the inside program here is to be respectful ~ be engaged in meaningful play ~ when you do that you pretty much have the freedom to be doing whatever you want however if you are NOT than there is an issue cause I just can not allow children the chance to hurt one another ~ I do not want to have to be explaining to clients at pick up time that little Johnny's gash on his face is because Bobby chose to throw a block at him cause it thought it would be fun or that Sally bit Alice while I was in the bathroom peeing!
