Behaviour Management

[Schnakes]

So. I have attended behaviour management classes etc, and know exactly what to do if there is a major breakdown (like kids fighting etc). However...how do you deal with the minor things. For example, if you ask them to do something repeatedly and they dont do it etc. or the child is speaking to you like you are the :censored: on their shoe.

I had a situation today that I dont feel that I dealt with very well, and Im just looking for advice, really. :)

I work with the child if they are old enough... you do this for me and I will do x for you...

Or with the parents - I am not to be spoken to like that, a child must show respect, that sort of thing.

Parents usually rally round and show support because they are frightened of losing their childcare.

Otherwise, it's a bit like doing an impression of a broken record... just going on and on until they get the message! :D

I agree with sarah on this one, good luck though.
