  1. and we were the 4 year old age group and there was another classroom for the younger group (2 and 3 year olds) and there was a carousel in there that I loved so I used to sneak out of my dumb classroom and go to the other one and go on the carousel. They just used to play hopscotch with me or something then my teacher would come and carry me out and I would go crazy. There was this Mr Potato Head game that I liked and played during playtime where you chose what to dress Mr potato head in I guess

  2. When I was in preschool I used to run around without my pant and underwear on after going to bathroom and when I was washing my hands I still had my pants and underwear pulled down! lololol and on the first day of preschool my mom walked out the door and I walked out with her and she said no you have to stay here and then I like…..threw a fit.

  3. haha wat a wimpy little boy kid lol! not trying to be mean but kinda funny chasing after that girl 3:44

  4. @09Boxerchick spanking a convenient punishment its okay to sapnk when your kids misbehaving in a car ride,but time out is longer once youre spankins done you can go play.

  5. @09Boxerchick Spanking wouldn’t work in this case, because that would teach the child it’s okay to hit. The teacher should have took him aside and said Your behavior is not appropriate you can either choose to lie on your bed or read a book but playing right now is not an option because the other children are trying to rest.

  6. How could any child sleep in an environment like that?! The teacher needs to lower her voice and get down to his level to relate to him. The room is so bright and overstimulating. It needs to be dimmed to aid relaxation. Did anyone else notice that little Joshua still has his shoes on? How can he sleep like that?

  7. Anticipate. Face to face communication. Not that snotty tone of voice. Really mean what you say.

  8. 2:42, the teacher should’ve
    1. taken the boy aside
    2. gotten down to his eye-level
    3. said “your behavior is not acceptable, are you going to play nicely?”
    4. (if he continues the behavior) put him in time out, one minute for every minute of his age.

  10. @09Boxerchick …
    I hope you don’t have children…if you do. God help them. Cuz yr a …bia

  12. she needs 2 take him 2 his his bed if he does not go by himself after 1 warning and keep putting him to bed even if it takes 100 trys. it will not take long b4 he knows u need 2 do what the teacher say. not just with him but with any child

  13. I just see some misguided adults trying to make a young child lay down with no friends or toys when he probably wasn’t tired!
    He resorted to kicking because he couldn’t deal with the situation. Why didn’t someone take him outside to play with him. Instead they abused their power and control. He looked too old to be napping in the day.
    Shame on you people who suggest force and punishment in this situation.

  14. @09Boxerchick,Spank **it**? Excuse the fuck out of me… Don’t you mean HIM? The boy isn’t a thing, he’s a person, even if he’s smaller than you.

  15. @XsumowrestlerX It can happen. My son was in danger of it this year. He had to see a psychologist, welfare officer, doctor and pediatrician. He has since been diagnosed with a disorder.

  16. @Acidic0man Not in all cases!!! Sometimes an underlying medical condition is a contributing factor.

  17. @davidNtonya I have done all the above but my son continues to struggle to even get through activities of daily living. (He has just been diagnosed with ADHD only a few weeks ago so i am still struggling to learn how to cope.) My heart goes out to all parents struggling with difficulties with their children, it’s so hard to go through and people can be very rude and say things that are not helpful and even point fingers at the parents and label them as BAD parents.

  18. Explain to them how bad it is.
    Demonstrate it and let them see how important it.

  19. @mizzdixie don’t give her attention when she throws a fit!! Just ignore her or something! My mom used to try to comfort me when I threw fits as a child, and she would be nice to me after words. I ended up throwing tantrums into my early teens as a means of getting attention. :( Unfortunately it took a while, but eventually I realized how childish I was being.

  20. A very relateable case of a problem behaviour. Thanks for uploading this piece of information.

  22. beat the child stupid it works great if h does it again do it again

  25. challenging behavior is when a child is acting like a spoiled little shit and the best course of action is a slap or a beating
