Hi all
After advice please
I look after 6 yr old, x2 10 yr old boys and 5 yr old girl.
I'm getting to the end of the line over what I describe as silly squabbling,
The 6 yr old always says the others make fun if him. Sometimes they do, but just in a silly way, nothing in it really.i think they do it as they know he reacts like this. He gets emotional and cries and says they always hurt his feelings,
Thing is the 6 yr old does the same too to them, He is the sort if child who if he trips and has a minor injury where most kids would hop up and carry on, he will writhe in pain for 5 mins. I think much of it is attention seeking, but not always totally without reason as the others do get a bit silly sometimes.
I have naughty corner (reflections spot) which I've used, rewards, incentives but still have the problem.
One thing to mention, one if the ten yr olds is my son and has said the 6 yr old annoys him as he always cries, I can see if I speak to 6 yr olds mum what could happen is my son gets the blame.
How do you handle squabbles? Never seems to be over Anythinv important. such as hd walked too close to me , he smiled at
Me in a silly way, he copied what i said? Argh!!
i dread picking them up as every day there is a fresh argument! Does my brain in!
