[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I agree this is typical age appropriate behavior, I don't think it is cute anymore then tantrums in the middle of a grocery stare are cute. This is a great opportunity to teach your charge that they are secure and loved even when they are not the only focus of your attention. You can say "Larla we are going to sit on our bottoms during circle time so we can see everyone's faces and play together." Then during class give a reassuring rub on the back and assist Larla to sit on her bottom, maybe saying "Sit down, please." I just went through this with my charge. At first I had to help him sit 10 times in a single class because he kept climbing back onto my lap. Now, he sits next to me throughout the class. You can also practive at home using a placemat to micmic the floor mats used in class.[/quote] OP here and thanks everyone for your responses. My charge doesn't do this during story time or actual class - only after when we are in the playrooms. He actually has an amazing focus during classes for a young toddler. He only restricts me from playing or engaging other kids when we are playing. [/quote]
