Hi everyone We had a little boy start with us in September, he had never been left with anyone before and we had the initial problems, crying etc, which we expected. He is an only child and said he didnt like other children Once he settled down we noted his behaviour. He is now 3 years and 4 months He has a fear of the hand dryer in the toilets and we have to tell him that it is broken. When he started he was hysterical being taken to the toilet, but is now not too bad. He spins round in a circle, eyes to the ceiling. He does not respond to anything you ask him e.g. what colour, shape, do you like, what have you been doing etc etc, nothing! He wal…

Can't Poo, Won't Poo?

I'm not sure which section to put this one in! We have a little boy who is 4 and 3 months. Lovely, intelligent articulate boy, has a slighty older sibling. He is quite 'stubborn' and likes to be in control, nothing bad in that, I think that is just going to be his nature. If you say something is going to happen and then it doesn't he always remembers and sometimes gets irritable " but you said we were going to have lunch next' etc. Mum and Dad really nice, thoughtful, child-centred. He seems to have become 'stuck' with doing poos anywhere but in his pants. He took a long time to come out of pull-ups and then a long time to move from potty to toilet. He is still ve…

Behaviour Query

I look after a wonderful little girl. SHe is 28mths old and is very spirited and lovely natured. SHe's pretty fearless and gets involved with all the activities and experiences on offer, she's a joy to play with as she is genuinely curious and excited and interested by all the things on offer. She's the sort of child who scoots on her scooter at 100miles an hour, falls, has a little cry then gets straight back on and flies off again. A couple of weeks ago mum mentioned to me that she had become suddenly scared and couldn't tell her why. It ahs now happened a few times at home and twice with me. The episodes come completely out of the blue and she is obviously terrified. …

Stopping Aggressive Play

I have a child in my year one class who is quite aggressive in his play and I’m struggling to know how to deal with this. In the classroom he isn’t too bad, although during transition times or active times (number fun songs or wake up and shake up time) he will start behaving in a silly way, doing things like flopping down on the carpet so that usually he injures a child already sitting there, or rolling around on the floor, or grabbing at his friends and trying to get them to roll around with him, things like that. He’s not really being malicious he just doesn’t think about what he’s doing and also doesn’t realise how rough he’s being. Does anyone have any useful str…

Hi everyone, Both myself and my TA are losing patience with a child in the class (rec), but am thinking i need to turn the situation on its head and think about my practice and ways to help. I really want to do my best for him - he is a lovely boy when he wants to be. He is the oldest in the class (5 already). He sings at innapproriate times on the carpet (just as i am about to speak or during discussion etc), he point blank refuses to do things (even minor things like sit on the carpet for a story - where he often lays under a table instead), a few days ago he knocked something of a shelf and when i asked him to pick it up he refused, i even offered to help he s…

Bright Child

Hi guys, i have an extremely bright reception child in maths, whatever i set her to do, she is able to accomplish within a real short space of time. She can write three digit numbers no problem, order numbers to 100, find one more two three more/less. Incredible. Is it worth me suggesting for her to join the yr1s who are no where near her capabilities still, but ast least a little more challenging. Or do i plan complete separate work for her, using yr 1objectives. Would love to hear your views on this one xxx

Problem Eater

We have a 3 year old who started with us a few months ago. She was very difficult to settle at first but since she came back after the summer holidays has been much more confident, almost getting a bit too rough with the other children. The real problem is that she has hysterics when we suggest a snack. She drinks out of her own bottle but won't even sit at the snack table without screaming. Mum tells us she is the same at home and hardly eats, never sits at the table and only likes junk food. We have been a bit firmer this week and strongly encouraged her just to sit at the snack table, giving her praise and stickers when she does, even for a moment. I think this meth…
