Behaviour Management

We have a child who has a number of words he likes to shout out when he's upset. Words the other children know are inappropriate. Our Behaviour Management consultant told us to ignore these words, as the child is looking for a reaction. Parents who hear them are upset that staff seem to be ignoring the situation and worry their children will start using these words. How do you deal with bad words at daycare?

DD is just over 3 and she has been pushing and hiting and pinching, yesterday she bit another child.

she is old enough and understands it isnt' nice to be pushed back ect.

We have spoken to her about using her words instead of hitting ect. I have noticed that she hits when she uses her words and the kids snap back or won't do what she wants.

Wondering how we can help her understand that even if they push or yell or scream she needs to keep her calm and use her words all the time?

Any new ideas for curbing biting? Now that my daughter attends the daycare I supervise, some of my little munchkins are a little put out by her getting to come in with me, come home with me, ride in my car etc. She's become a target and is being bitten. I've dealt with biting for years, but now it's my kid being bit. I have to confess briefly when I saw it happen the other day I almost wanted Mia to stand up for herself (she's the biggest kid in the room). I know, I know, that is bad. Through her tears she told the other child "no thank you, I no like that". Bless her heart.

At the risk of sounding sexist here, I am at my wits end trying to manage a group with a majority of boys. Power Rangers, Transformers, Ninja Turtles and Hot Wheels are the reaccuring theme. I find myself having to intervene in physical and hostile altercations continuously throughout the day---the 3 girls I have pretty much do their own thing as I am dealing with the boys on an on-going basis. As soon as I try to interact with the quieter ones--(the girls), trouble errupts where the usual suspects are.

My son was recently diagnosed with ASD. Are most Daycares or Preschools equipped to deal with children with ASD?

Hi!

My almost 9 month old will be in daycare starting at age 1 and I am wondering when I should start getting him into the routine of his daycare? Should I contact the daycare to find out what a regular day will be like for his age group?

For sure we will be doing a week of transition the week before he starts his daycare (upon the suggestion of my provider) but I want to do as much as possible to make sure the transition is as easy on my son (and me!!!) as possible.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!!

I'm really trying to get my toddler to help me clean up his toys at the end of the day. He's already great about putting his bath toys in a basket after tub time. Do you have any tricks I can use to help make it less of a struggle?

What's an appropriate age to start time outs?

My Toddler has displayed aggressive behaviour towards other kids in social settings. What is the best way to react and to correct this behaviour?
Any advice?
