"When your child is too wild for the daycare" Fri May-06-16 06:35 PM by godleeluv
So yeah I went to pick my kid up from daycare and the lady was like, can I talk to you for a second...I was like sure...
Basically my child is defiant and she can't figure out how to change that. She is concerned it may be more of a problem during the summer when he is there much longer because school is out.
I'm a bit concerned too cause I don't know how to fix the problem either. Fml

I would ask them to be specific with defiant. Don't allow the criminalization start early. Your kid is perfect.
At my daycare, they move the kids out of certain "rooms" when they get too rowdy. For example, my daughter likes to pull things out and turn things over. They decided she needed to be with a different group of kids to engage and challenge her.
Also very active children need outside time or intentional physical activities.
There are some days where I don't take my daughter to daycare because I can tell it is boring for her.
Look up a blog called The Artful Parent or something like that. I am realizing my child likes to move around a lot and she may require a different type of learning environment. I refuse to force her into a box.

Most kids have at least one occasion or short-term phase wherein they have trouble in a certain environment. As parents...we can sometimes lose perspective and make too much of a deal outta it.

My son was in Montessori for a long time and we were extremely happy with his development, he goes to a Jewish school now but the curriculum there is similar to Montessori.

17. "The only drawback with Montessori is sensory overload" In response to Reply # 14
both of my young'uns are very attuned to sounds and sights...so the open atmosphere of Montessori can be an overload if they are also dealing with that challenge.
On the flip side...being able to tailor your educational path to the needs of the child is invaluable.

15. "this is a good question" In response to Reply # 12
the wife and I were talking to my brother about daycare/schooling..
he said his son had problems because they let him join in adult conversations and once he got to school he was talking back to the teachers. Asking them why, challenging them and interrupting class.
but WILD could mean so many things. biting, tantrums, hitting, etc...

1. How is he behaving at home? 2. Is he exhibiting the same behaviors at school? 3. Are there certain things he excels at? For example...will he wild out at free play but you give him a tablet and he's peace for hours?
In short...this sounds like Buddy...who has been giving us the flux since he entered organized care. Sometimes the structure that they impose upon our children will bring out rebellion...and may lead to looking into alternate paths to pull him in.

you really want your kids marching while singing "we will overcome" during math class?
