ok, I've been doing this for more than 4 years now, In my house for only one... I just don't know what I am doing wrong but for the past few weeks DC is so bad. I feel I am loosing control of the kids and don't know what to do. I feel so frustrated, really going crazy here.
I always do group times in the morning, my 4 yo just won't pay attention, she is looking up and down, laying on the floor, singing her own things to herself, the other one sees her and lays on floor to, my 2 year old just walks up and starts running, the other one spins and spins while sitting down and I am in a battle to get their att. I change things frequently so is not like I am giving the same thing over and over and they are just bored with it, I can't even read a book w/out them doing this and it wasn't like this before.
The 4 yo used to write her name, now she acts like if she does not know how and doesn't even want to practice, the 3 yo practice and knows the shapes and the 4yo is always in la la land and never remembers her shapes. The 4yo is throwing tantrums when mom leaves, it gets so loud that I have to send her to the bathroom where she'll start kicking the door violently and can keep doing this for more than 20 minutes.
I try to comfort her but she just starts acting like a baby and screams even louder and that's when I send her to bathroom. She started to spill her milk during every meal and mom just told me today that she bm her pants twice during the weekend. She's been potty trained for more than a year now:confused:
The thing is that when she starts acting up the other ones do the same and I just feel that I am in a constant battle, IDK if i did wrong but she is a very smart little girl and you can have very good conversations with her, so I told her this morning that I was going to talk to Mom and tell her that she needed to take DCG to another school, as soon as I told her that she stopped her behavior but then a while later started again.
I am just so frustrated with her. We used to go for walks around neighborhood and they did awesomely good, now they start to run away from me so I stopped them and explained to them why they could not do that, even told them when we get back home you need to do T/O if you keep doing this, I stand up to keep walking and the 1st thing I hear is the 4yo telling the 3 yo to start running and looks at me smiling.
So walks are done, no more walks for now.
Anyways, and sorry for the long story , I know she wants attention but is so difficult to give her all the attention she wants , next week I am going to have 2 more kids and IDK how that is going to go.

and then I intervened and told the little girl that she needs to use her words not her hands, that she had just hurt her brother and she needed to say she was sorry, I also told her to stop hitting mom because mom was taking it like it was completely normal. I should have put in my contract that parents need to be in charge of discipline when they pick up, because the kids think that what I say does not go when parents are here and they start braking all the rules and parents just look
