Walking to the Playground

[Lee-Bee]

5LM: I didn't consider she may be in a different province, or that perhaps my old daycare centre was following best practices and not the DNA itself.

One thing I found useful in the schools with the children that are unpredictable, spazzy and just don't listen is to give them a big responsibility. If you are going out to play...you have too much to carry can he hold the attendance chart, very carefully as we need it for ALL the parents to sign later. It gives them a focus and sometimes they actually focus on it! But, you need to keep switching it up because after so many times the attendance chart is old...but maybe the daycare keys need to be held (I suggest a fake set of keys lol).

Point being to get them focussed on doing something helpful and praising them for doing it. With the hope that in time they have succeeded so many times at helping, they made it to the playground without any negative interactions...and eventually they just start succeeding on their own.
