Shout and misbehave
I usually take care of infants ( new born to Pre school )
This age is new for me .
I talked with the child very politely with love
But not ready to listen
For instance if it’s time for breakfast not ready to do breakfast or not ready to do any project from school
Thanks
“Breakfast is ready. At x o’clock, breakfast will be over. Please come eat before that time, whenever you are ready.” Pick up breakfast on time, have snack at the normal time. The child will get around.
“It’s time to do some schoolwork. Do you want to draw up a schedule with me for the whole day or choose one piece at a time? Which subject do you want to do first? Ok, when that’s done, do you want to do [a physical activity] or [creative option]?”
In the current environment, they need choices, and they need to feel heard. It sounds to me like you’re telling them what to do and when. Loosen up on compliance a little, and start asking questions.
Initially, I thought that you were discussing discipline for a misbehaving child (throwing things, yelling, being disrespectful) without reason other than stress. But if you can change your behavior, that should help change the child’s behavior.
Is this a new charge? Or a former charge?
