How do you handle it?
New girl, almost 3, very bright and I am seeing some classic manipulative behaviors. Anyway, she left the former daycare because they really babied her, gave in to every whim. She is potty trained, but she won't get on/off the toilet, wipe herself, put clothes on/off, etc. If she doesn't like what was served, she was allowed to get up and go play OR they would make her something else. I want that color---- they took it away from another child and gave it to her.
She is in total shock here. It is her 4th day, and the drop off dramatics have begun. In addition to that, she is tattling to her mom about every little thing in an attempt to go back to former provider. Yesterday she kept removing her shoes outside so I gave her the option to leave them on, or stay on the deck (has outdoor area rug on it). She agreed to leave them on, then took them off and stepped in mud. When her Mom came, she told her how she didn't want to come back here because I MADE her step in mud and now her feet AND shoes were dirty (I cleaned both).
It is a lot of redirection, but her saying this 1,000 times a day "I'm not coming back here ever again!" "I don't like this school." "former provider's name doesn't make that because I don't like it." "My Mom said I'm not coming back here ya know." is grating on my nerves. Say something? ignore it? I will be addressing it to mom this evening because Mom needs to get tough at home or it's not going to work out here.
