Killarney Discipline Needed

Got a call from Killarney. Jasmine was misbehaving again. Apparently, she's throwing tantrums every time the teacher asks her to do something she doesn't like. For example, if it is circle time and the teacher asks her to join the circle - scream. The teacher asks Jas to grab her backpack to get her snack - scream. Please wash your hands after you use the washroom - scream.

The next thing she tells me is even worse. Jas has taken on the habit of picking her nose in public and then eating the booger... yuck!

Well, the teacher and chatted on how to handle the situation and recommended that we use the same type of discipline at home and at school. We decided to:

- ignore he trantrums and walk away (hoping she will realize that people don't want to be around her when she throws a fit)
- use the reward system for nose picking.

Instead of picking her nose, we remind her to rub her hands together whenever she feels like touching her nose. And each day that goes by without picking her nose, she gets a Dora sticker. After getting 3 Dora stickers, she will get a lollipop.

Let's see how things go this week.
