childcare. need help with this?

First is to recognize that 'change' is more difficult for some individuals than others and this appears to be the basis of the challenges presented here.

Now, we know that 'change' is a part of life evolving .... but 'acceptance' cannot be forced. The child only has the life experience of being on our planet for a very short 6 years.

'Acceptance' appears to be another issue here ..... the child does not seem to be 'accepted' for the individual that he is. The classroom teasing must be put to a halt .... bullying is a huge moral and legal issue that is making the news daily.

That being said, a child who wants to care for babies should not be discriminated against just because he is a boy instead of a girl. If I am not mistaken - our society yearns for the increased roll of the 'excellent' father - we want nurturing and caring .... and involved parents - both mothers and fathers. This behavior should actually be encourage throughout the classroom.

The caregivers inability to 'understand' does seem to be of concern .... but even if she does not 'understand' .... the guidelines of continuing in this position is that she must do her 'job' accordingly - with appropriateness.

Another concern appears that the caregivers enjoy standing around on the playground discussing the children's issues. This quite possibly is being overheard by the group of bullies and creating some (if not all) of the ongoing issues.

Are the caregivers engaging the children on the playground? Or just standing around gossiping?

The child must be held accountable for his behaviors, but is the ongoing behavior now associated with the discrimination he is experiencing within the classroom?

Encouraging appropriate behaviors could be accomplished by simply giving 'choices'. Many individuals view children with the guideline of 'You have to do what I say - because I am BIG and you are small' mentality. I have never met an individual that likes to be told what to do all of the time - have you?

Is it possible for the caregiver to give a 'choice'? Example would be:

Johnny when you have finished that beautiful drawing and cleaned up ..... you can go play on the swing (I will help you by giving you a start) or would you like to help me clean up some of the papers that flew all over the playground?

Another option that I have used numerous times is to provide options ..... but considering I only wanted 1 outcome .... I gave choices that would only provide the outcome I expected. Example would be:

I want Johnny to attend circle time (not an option).... but Johnny wants to sit at the table and continue coloring -

"Johnny it is circle time .... please come and sit on your space .... or would you like to sit on this space or would you like to have a very special seat here?" Of course, this is only one variation of the options that might be available within your classroom. But, the point is that he is being given choices and 'power' over his environment yet it is dictated by the caregiver in a loving fashion.

All of this being said .... there could be an underlying medical concern that is just now appearing.

My suspicions is that 'change' has not gone over too well for him and that he is not accepted for the individual that he is. We are not a 'cookie cutter' society .... otherwise I am pretty certain we would be living within a utopia of sorts. His overlapping behavior at home is very indicative of his unhappiness at school .... especially if this is new at home too. (This is from personal 'parental' experience)

I hope this has been a little helpful.

It has some fun stuff that you can use at the daycare and could also be used at home by the parents with the children. A little overlapping between class and home can help present a more cohesive appearance between the home and the school.

i assume this relies upon on the place you reside and the value of surrounding daycare. i think of one hundred each and every week is decrease priced, it additionally relies upon on what share hours an afternoon and the age of the toddler. the greater youthful the toddler the dearer, in Maryland, the main uncomplicated value for an toddler for daycare is 2 hundred and for a preschooler a hundred and forty and it receives greater low priced as they become older, because is far less duty for the care taker. additionally at times you get what you pay for, the less you pay, at times much less is presented. I had my 2 365 days old in a daycare the place it grew to become into a hundred and forty and that they in simple terms presented snacks, i had to deliver breakfast and lunch, the instructor and service turnover fee grew to become into terrible, 5 instructors in 3 months, my daughter all started having evening terrors and did not go with to flow returned. i switched her to Kinder Care discovering middle a great middle, and the value is $235 each and every week, yet they furnish breakfast, snacks, and extremely healthful lunches, as properly as wash her sheets and pillows a week, in comparison to the different daycare, the lecturers have been there 5 years or greater, and my daughter honestly loves going to college conventional, and she or he found out lots greater. So at times it relies upon on the care middle, or whether this is living house based. desire this helps
