I recommend sitting down with him and asking what activities he would like to do today. You can explain (if he asks), that TV is not an option today. Maybe use it as a reward at the end of the week. Do you use lots of positive reinforcement? It works wonders with the kids in my care! Does he like to help? We have jobs that the kids pick each day, like calendar, line leader, lights, picking music, setting table, etc. Kids normally love to help and it should help alleviate some of the problems. How about having a Star of the Week and having him go first? Also, the Positive Discipline books by Jane Nelsen are phenomenal for working with children of all ages.

Best of luck to you!

Sample schedule: I'm up by 6. Kids are up between 6:30 and 7. Get ready, get dressed, all that; sometimes do some little school thing before that. Around 8, get started with work/learning activities. We don't have a set schedule; it's worked out each day what will be done. Break around 11-11:30. Do a bit of cleaning up before lunch. Lunch. Kids help with clearing the table. Silent reading. For the afternoon, it's never the same. We'll have a park day one day usually, go to the library another afternoon, run errands or go on a field trip another afternoon...

This website just had ideas, but it has a lot. Not down-loadable, because it's already there for viewing on the website. I've used many of the ideas my self. For a while, it's where I got all my ideas until I was provided curriculum by the company I work for.

you can just offer the activities to all of them, they will participate or not. try these lesson plans they are good for a wide range of ages and include everything you need, from circle time, reading, arts, snacks, imagination, toys to reinforc
