I am so frustrated! I find that every p.a day or day off that the school aged daycare kids have, that they act worse than the little preschoolers do!
Have any of you found this to be? The 2 dcg I have are 3 and 3.5 and they know what the rules are during the day and they play great. But the 3 dcb I have, who are grades 1 and 2, act as if they have never been here before! Doing a simple craft or activity for a short amount of time is way too much for them...they fidget, try to fight or wrestle, and they can't just do the activity. Meanwhile the 3 yr old girls are sitting nicely and concentrating on the activity. And it's not the gender difference either because it's it's happened the other way around as well.
It makes me dread days off for the school agers.
