Same 😂

It reminds me of my primary teacher. Lol😂

Same here ! Lol

Thank you so much. I was so pleased to hear some of the things that I am doing right too. Very insightful and inspiring.

Im a prekg and kg school founder from Burma, Southbeast Asia. Luckily i found your video today. I have 1 adhd kid and i am finding the way how to treat and teach that kid in the school. So im thanksful as i get the idea with 5ways of yours. May be in some oths months i will report the result by using yours. Thanks again.

Yes! It is much trickier in a daycare setting. Active ignoring is not a strategy that everyone is comfortable with and you should only do what is comfortable and feels natural to you! Thanks for the comment.

Same experience! I am a new teacher and I did active ignoring to a kid demanding my attention, but the other teacher told me that I should respond instead. :(

I agree with you. I'm a new daycare teacher and some of my students just have big feelings and sometimes I can't do anything to soothe them. So sometimes just crying it out is what they need. But of course when you're alone or you're busy with diapers, it does attract other teachers to come in and see what's going on.

I’ve used this so much working in a Twos room. I started in the three in daycare and i played into them calling my name so many times, but after being in the twos and witnessing so many tantrums I can now keep going on with helping other students and keeping them safe without giving in. This helps me with any age and where they are emotionally

Destiny, thank you for the comment! Part of my job has been to model and coach other teachers; I love helping struggling teachers because WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE! It is not an easy job; however, keep your sense of humor and remember preschool should be fun :)

Good luck! Sometimes teaching is trying a lot of things until you find something that works.

I know that can be a challenge. I might suggest keeping your schedule very predictable and routined. If there is going to be a change, be sure to give the children plenty of warning that a change is coming. You could also make a picture of a star and hold it up whenever you are informing the children of a change. Children on the spectrum do very well with visual supports. I hope you find this helpful. Please reach out if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment.

Maybe once I get my CDA and am assigned my own classroom it’ll be different but I’m just in multiple classrooms different age groups so it’s hard to set a routine I’m at the mercy of passive aggressive teachers who count down the days for the weekend while I’m researching how to do my job better I’ll try the visual aides thanks for the reply ❤

Thanks so much for watching!

That’s very exciting! Good luck and let me know how it goes.

djthereplay Your words are so sweet, Dwight! I love hearing from you and your experience 😊. Thanks for commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Sabrina, thanks for commenting!

Oh, I get it! Please know that you just have to take control and be the leader. My suggestion to you would be to keep them busy with fun activities. You could build a "tent" out of blankets and furniture and then climb in with a flashlight and read stories. Don't be afraid to have them be your "little helpers" and give them easy jobs (folding laundry, clearing the table after a meal, etc) then PRAISE them and tell them what a big help they are to you. You need to develop your own relationship with them (different than their mom) and try not to be so hard on yourself. Hang in there!

@@positivepreschooltips maybe I should step up and be a leader.. They don't respect me at all. Thank you for your encouragement. Means a lot to me..

Thank you for your suggestion on a video about coloring. I do have several ideas. I’ll work on putting that video out!

Thank you for your suggestion! That’s a great topic; I’ll work on that and hope to post soon.

It sounds like you have excellent ideas and have done several things that i would recommend (sending positive parenting tips home, etc.). If you can provide some more specific information about the behaviors, I would be happy to offer some additional strategies.

I have the same problem and is 2 kids they run and run and won’t listen

Autumn, sorry this has taken me so long to reply. I'm not sure how I missed your comment previously. This is what I would suggest: yes, the running is a game so try approaching them by making sitting the game. If possible, do not chase them, start rewarding the children following the directions with stickers, stamps, etc. The object is to have the child understand they get your attention and get to participate in the fun things offered only if they are sitting and not running. Here's a link to a song that has been very helpful to me: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9-nrcx-rb-7goU.html Good luck

Tantrums and defiance can be very hard to deal with in the classroom. First and foremost, keep that child and the other children safe. There have been times when I had another teacher take all the other children to the playground when a child was throwing things (to be sure the other children did not get hurt). I then told the child that if he/she wanted to go to the playground too, first they had to pick up what they threw then he/she could join the class. If that doesn’t initially work and the child refuses to pick up the items, I ignore them and act very interested in a book or something on a tablet. I say things like, “oh my gosh, you will not believe what I see. This is so amazing, etc.” Usually the child gets interested and may come over to see. I then cover it and tell them once they pick up the items I will show him/her. I may even volunteer to help him/her with the clean up at that point. Once they comply and pick up what was thrown, I happily show then the book or tablet then walk them outside to join the class. I wouldn’t harp on the issue after that however, I would give them a reminder next time it appears he/she is being defiant or throwing things that if they want to go to the playground, stay with friends, etc. they need to follow directions. If they show the slightest bit of compliance, I would praise them for making a good choice. Remember we have to teach good behavior (to some students) like we would teach colors, numbers and the alphabet. They may not learn it the first or even second time so keep in mind it’s a marathon not a sprint 😀👍. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

@@positivepreschooltips thank you so much for the response! Very helpful!

Temper tantrums can be a challenge in public places. As a parent, I would scoop them up and take them out. If possible, I would let them calm down then bring them back once they have settled. I would suggest, staying calm and not overly engage with the child but just matter-of-factly tell them, “once you are calm, we can go back and finish our meal”. You may need to let your waitstaff know that you will be stepping out.

Once the child is in an unsafe situation for themselves or others, active ignoring no longer is a 'go-to' strategy. I would tell the child firmly, "Put your feet on the floor (instead of get down)". That is a very direct command telling the child exactly what you want them to do. If the child does not get off the table, I would then give them two choices by saying, "it is unsafe for you to be on table and I don't want you to get hurt. You can put your feet on the floor by yourself or I will help you. Which do you choose?" If the child doesn't choose or refuses to choose, I would quickly remove them and put them on the floor. Active ignoring is tricky and only is validate if the child is not in danger. Safety always comes first. I hope this helps, let me know if there is any thing else I can do to assist you. Good luck!

Hi Canistra, I have a video on line up ditties. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJeIZJZ4yJfGZJs.html
