Hi, I don't post very often and my problem is minor compared to some of the others I have read on this thread but I just feel confused and perplexed. My dd who has just turned 4 has an IEP (individual education plan) for her behaviour at nursery. She is bright and sociable, has no speech or language difficulties and iss meeting all her milestones. However, she can become very disruptive at Nursery - throwing toys, sometimes hitting other children and staff. The IEP has been set up to help DD with transition from one activity to another and small group work. Apparently she finds large group activity difficult and this is when she is likely to misbehave. We have also set up a positive reward system. DD gets a marble a day and when she gets 7 she can have a small packet of sweets. The nursery have implemented this as well although invariably she never gets one on the two days she is there. DD also goes to a pre-school 2 mornings a week and the contrast could not be more different. They say that DD sometimes finds large groupwork challanging but in the main she is well behaved and can be easily distracted into behaving well. I just don't get it - DH and I feel we are fairly consistent. The only thing I can think of is that the environments are different. Pre-school is more free flow and nursery has smaller rooms where 2-3 and 3 and over tend to be more separated. Advice and stratedgies would be welcome because she is due to start reception in Sept. Sorry for going on
