Child Getting Emotional When Left By Parent

Please bear in mind we have only opened our Playgroup 2 weeks and are therefore new to the whole matter of settling children in. We have one little boy, very quiet in his manners and doesn't really communicate what he wants to play with etc etc When he comes into Playgroup he clings to mums leg, she tends to take him by the arm and "push" him into the playgroup. We have tried everything - persuading him to come and see our sand, water toys etc, cuddling him before mum leaves, talking to him at the end of previous session about the next day but nothing works. He starts to cry but it is very quickly over and he is happy about 2 minutes after mum leaves. We are…

Hi All, Can anyone help..... I have a boy who is 3.5 years, he started toilet/pott training 6 months ago and during the first 2 weeks he had (like many of children) lots of accidents and was at times becoming distressed. His mother (against our advice) felt sorry for him and put him back in pull-ups but told him that once the world cup was over he would go back into pants....which he did..... However the same happened (as above) and again she put him back in pull-ups.....and so the pattern continued. We tried everything: Putting toys in the toilet/round objects for him to aim into Reading a book to him Sticker Chart Praise Going with a friend - Payi…

Hi, I'm doing a short topic on nursery rhymes, bassed on the fact that a lot of children seem to like nursery rhymes, but I need a bit of inspiration for ideas! So far I though we could make sheep out of wool and cotton wool and talk about textures, make spiders for incy wincy spider out of paper plates and children can fold paper to make zig zaggy legs, acting out humpty dumpty and recording it for children to watch back on the smart board, and making symetrical hearts by folding a heart in half, painting a pattern and folding it over to print on the other half, as well as maing heart shaped biscuits for the queen of hearts. Now I'm struggling for inspiration! I want t…

Transporting Schema
by Guest- 4 replies

We have a 2 year old in preschool at present who always has 3 or 4 small toys in one hand. He carries them around while he plays. It doesn't seem to matter much what they are but once he has made his selection for the morning he won't change. Is this a transporting schema? Is there any way we can extend it? His sister on the other hand collects quantities of similar items and lays them out in rows. THey are the only strong schema we have going on at present.

Settling In Child 1 2

We had a child started new today and he was very vocal in expressing what he was going to play with and in his thoughts and feelings! However we noticed a "determined" streak - when he didn't want to do something he made sure he didn't do it! This came to light at the end of our session. We had had a lovely half hour outside playing and came in to sit down for a rhyme session before the mums came. This particular child refused to sit down with the other children and started to move towards the construction toys. We tried repeatedly to say that now was not the time to be playing with toys but everyone was waiting on him to join them in the rhymes. Eventually he came …
