I have a pretty good group, behavior-wise. They get whiny and irritable kinda often, but they don't hit, fight, destroy stuff, and they listen most of the time.
I got a new four-year-old last week, and he is such a square peg. He is very disobedient, he plays very rough and loudly, and he thinks all discipline is funny. He's cute as a button, but he's grating on my last nerve.
The other kids haven't really bonded with him yet, either. He grabs their toys, wrecks their games by trampling through them (he runs everywhere), he plays at lunch...
And he's horrible at nap - takes his covers off the mat, takes shoes off, wakes up other kids.
Best way to get my bad side.
I don't want to sound as if I don't like him, because he's very cute and sweet, and I do like him. But he came in the door misbehaving and not listening and hasn't stopped since. All the discipline (time-out, loss of privileges, etc.) I come up with, he finds it funny or just simply ignores it.
And he's kind of busting up my good thing
...I don't know how to show him I mean business without being a Mean Lady, and he even finds that funny.
