How Do You Deal With Inappropriate Behaviour?

Guest · 2012-05-02T07:48:36+0000

Have been doing a lot of thinking about this and feel I am coming from it at the wrong angle. Here's a scenario or two and see what you think. We have a farm set out - buildings, fields, loads of animals, tractors, people etc - obviously we would love to see the children line up the animals in groups or put them in fields or sheds etc. Then get the farmer into his tractor and load up some animals on the trailer or even put feeds to spread them out amongst the animals. With me so far? We have one little boy and whilst another child is engaged in this activity and talking away about what she is doing he comes up with the tractor and rams into all the animals or buildings she has set out making her angry and knocking the animals down in the process. His reaction on seeing her get angry is to continue to ram even though we ask him several times to stop as he is upsetting this child's play. He becomes increasingly excited by the fact that he is annoying the child and continues to do this action. Our response is to ask him to move away from this activity into another area which of course he refuses and there is a real tug of war on both parts to try and make him understand why we are moving him away and his continuation at wanting to play in this area. We have a couple of children playing in the home corner, one making tea the other dressing a doll when a child comes up and snatches a cup or plate away and says they are the daddy now and they have to do what he wants. The one making the tea cowers into a corner and watches this child take their toys. We ask the child to stand up to the other one and say they are playing with it. The child eventually leaves the area as they are so scared of the other child. 3 children playing in the sand pit each happily doing their own thing. One child decides they would like the other child's toy as they seem to be having so much pleasure and then there is a pushing and pulling episode resulting in someone getting hurt. Don't get me wrong - we are in these areas with the children helping and watching all that is going on. I just feel somehow that we need some way of telling children that their actions are inappropriate but is it because of their age that they don't just understand or are they getting such a thrill out of our reaction to it all that this behaviour continues??
