If he does not sleep he’s been quiet. . We praise him a lot for this behavior and it’s been a win! 🙏🏾 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918925 Fri, 11 Sep 2020 06:38:53 +0000 MrsSRS 2918925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: ha! Then it's a teacher competence issue and not your problem, although it's great that you're backing up the school at home. If the school pops any additional pressure on you maybe ask why it's only an issue with subs. I know our subs received little to no training, so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918914 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 18:40:21 +0000 Miss Ariel 2918914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m right there with you! </p> <p>Last year his teacher you to sit next Time him during nap time and eventually he’ll fall asleep. On days she wasn’t there it was always an issue. It did feel like we were focusing on it too much though and tried to talk about it less/bring less attention to it.</p> <p>He’s in a new class this year and we’re having the issue again. Like you said, do to coved regulations (not mixing classes, having a smaller staff) there’s no separate room for him to go to.</p> <p>A couple weeks ago it was so bad they called and had us come pick him up. (The director tried to calm him down and he started tried to spit, hit, kick her.) Dh when he picked him up he had a huge smile on his face excited he got to go home early. So frustrating </p> <p>Thankfully things have been better since then. I think part of it is he starts feeling tired and then gets up and runs around to stop himself from sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918906 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 17:38:25 +0000 pastemoo 2918906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: This is tough! Maybe more than one option, something most quiet during the first half, then something else after. Maybe sitting close to a teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918901 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 15:56:51 +0000 cake2017 2918901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Thank you. He slept today and I spoke to his teacher who stated he’s fine with her but not quiet when a sub comes in to relieve her for a break. we are going to continue to work on it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918900 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 15:56:04 +0000 cake2017 2918900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: we do this. I agree </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918897 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 12:39:58 +0000 MrsSRS 2918897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a daycare provider I am baffled. I feel like they should be able to manage. As I type that I realize I'm the teacher the other teachers go get when they have a disruptive napper and need backup so I guess I'm biased. Still. This shouldn't be your problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918896 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 12:29:10 +0000 alphagam84 2918896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a punishment at home. When you pick him up from school and he was disruptive=punishment. Each day he is good-small reward. I know that would work for my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918894 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 11:03:32 +0000 cake2017 2918894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m waiting to hear from the Directors to see how we can make it better. I appreciate everyone’s responses and if any ideas please post </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918892 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:44:37 +0000 peaches1038 2918892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could he listen to an audiobook with headphones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918891 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 22:04:30 +0000 KT326 2918891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: The only thing that helped was when he was able to play outside for an hour with the non-napping class. But that only happened if they had space so maybe 1-2 times a week, if that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918890 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 21:56:40 +0000 bakingdoodle 2918890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our friends' kid also didn't want to nap. They ended up getting him a pair of headphones so he listens to songs while the other kids are napping... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918888 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 20:28:55 +0000 cake2017 2918888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: Do you recall what worked during that time for you? </p> <p>DH and I are thinking it’s for attention. He is so excited to tell us that he was disruptive. There have been changes due to covid and we are thinking maybe more time with DH and I may help? I don’t know...@HappyBaker: Thanks! I don’t know what they may allow. I sent a tracing book and it worked for awhile and now he just scribbles and was found drawing on their floors. He’s so good before and after nap time and sleeps here at home... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918887 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:42:08 +0000 KT326 2918887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t have any solutions but I just want to say my oldest was the same way in his 4’s room. He was so disruptive and I constantly got phone calls about it. But they only had one room of non-nappers and it was full. I can’t even imagine how it would be now with all the restrictions in place. Hopefully it is a quick phase and they can help figure something out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918886 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:41:23 +0000 HappyBaker 2918886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: what about a small bin of little Legos? As long as he’s past the age of trying to eat things ha, my boys would both do literally anything for Legos, and their daycare gives the older crew a pencil case full of them during rest time. Or maybe an audiobook with headphones somehow? That is so hard, good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918885 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:19:28 +0000 cake2017 2918885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and I really don’t want him being with older kids. Also, due to Covid there are restrictions. </p> <p>Thank you tho- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918884 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 18:38:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2918884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That’s a long time for a three year old to be quiet - is there another room, maybe bigger kids who don’t nap, where he could go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-being-disruptive-during-nap-in-daycare#post-2918882 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 17:30:59 +0000 cake2017 2918882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help! Sent a lovey, book, paper and crayons- nothing is working. nap is about 1.5 hours and he’s telling, screaming, moving furniture etc. Staff said they are going to brainstorm. We’ve spoken to him and he repeats and says exactly what he needs to do(I need to be quiet, I should rest etc) but doesn’t do it. He comes out and excitedly states he was disruptive at nap. We’ve tried ignoring, addressing the issue and nothing seems to be working. I don’t know what to do- any suggestions? </p>
