i look after a 6yrold mindee who enjoys winding my son up and once he has found somthing that annoys him will do it constantly untill my son snaps then he thinks its funny, now normaly i would tell a child to ignore this behaviour but my son has 'problems' ie they think he is on the autistic scale but cant make up their minds, obviously this is no excuse for any behaviour and he is treated exactly the same as the others, but it does mean that he can be sensitive to things and has a short fuse.
friday the mindee was making silly noises, started off with humming, then clicking then just a one toned hum noise, each time my son said please stop its annoying so he would stop one noise then start another, when i asked him to stop he said 'so i cant sing then?' i said yes you can sing but not make noises, anway that afternoon after school he then sang songs, this started to annoy my son who moved in to the living room the mindee then followed him , so my son went outside, again the mindee followed him this time singing and laughing so obviously this was also to wind up my son.
Thing is how to I deal with this,, i cant really ask the mindee not to sing cause theres nothing wrong with singing, i also dont want to ask my son to stay upstairs all day so that the sining dosent anoy him,,, i did think that i could say to the mindee that if he wants to sing he has to sing in the kitchen then my son could play in the lounge but is this ok to do this?
