I'm new to the board, and just joined. I work in a day care center with 50+ kids. During the summer I'm a floater and work with all the kids. During the school year I work in the 4K classroom.
There is one kid that will be coming into the 4K class this year that is some what of a problem child. He has been at the day care since he was a baby. He does not want to listen at all. If you tell him to sit down, he'll run around the room and do everything but. I've tried putting him in time out, and he doesn't stay there. He feels that he doesn't have to listen to anyone and he can do what he wants. I usually send him to the director when he won't listen to me. She'll talk to him, and maybe for a day he'll be somewhat better. But it never lasts. I've tried a reward system. Let him pick out a sticker he likes and he gets it at the end of the day. However, this system has failed as well. Once he knows he's lost the sticker he doesn't care and will go back to not listening. I know that many of the daycare staff have talked to mom, and grandma (mom lives with grandma). And nothing seems to be working.
I need to find a solution because other kids are seeing him act this way and they think if he can act that way so can they.
Just wondering if someone has any other ideas I may try?
