[quote=Anonymous]Twos teacher here:  circle time for kids this young has to be super short, and/or you have to expect that kids will wander some. Their attention spans are so brief at this age.  As I teacher I am fine with kids not sitting in the circle, hanging back and playing quietly.  If they are loud and running through the middle of it, I would want another adult to reign them in a bit, so that those who are focused can stay focused.

Circle time for young kids work better when they are active: we do movement songs with hand and body motions for the kids to do, that helps channel the wiggling energy.  And we end it quickly - 10 minutes!

If your child won't sit for the circle time but is still watching/listening, she could be getting something out of it.  Some kids prefer to watch than participate.  Or, if its just not working, fine to leave.  In time, she should be ready to settle down for (short) activities like this.  Good luck in finding an activity that suits your child.  [/quote]
