Love it! -
Years ago I had a boy who would body slam to the floor and smash toys together. He wouldn't play any other way. He had been kicked out of another family child care home. He always had two cars or other toy in his hand and would smack, snack,smack.....them together.
That was his only play and the skidding/body slamming to the floor. His parents just totally could handle really wild behavior.
My daughter babysat at their home once and his sister (age 7) and he wanted to play "deer hunting", shoved her around and tried shoving her in a closet! LOL! She came home and I said..."ah, never babysit for them again!"
I had two other boys the same age (all 4) I cared for. They played well and eventually he calmed down and was a super nice kid and played like the other kids.
I had to sit down like you did and show him how to build, play with cars, etc. it took about two months (and I'm super firm) but he turned out to be a great kid.
I agree that there is absolutely no reason to be skidding to the floor, etc. in your home! He can run, and jump, and fall, and skid and yell, and roll, and climb OUTSIDE! I'd give him not an inch on it indoors.
I'd set up expectations the minute he came in the door and go over what he CAN do, what he can play with and I'd let him know what will happen each and every time it happens...you will sit and calm down at
the table with table toys every time he get crazy..and immediately!
He grew up to be an incredible young man! So there is hope! Haha!Comment
