If you want my honest opinion I think you need to refresh your idea of what appropriate behavior for a 2 year is and isn't.
Many of your comments in regards to his "annoying" behavior demonstrate your lack of knowledge in regards to developmentally appropriate practices. The expectations need to be realigned.
To teach means finding the KEY (adapting, altering or arranging) to meet the needs for all learning styles.
....and that was not said with any negativity or intent to cause you sadness.
I guess I didn't realize how young the child is. that was a very good point BC
I mostly 3 and 4.5 year olds. I have new guy that just turned two and he does very well in my program, but I also don't expose him to the same things I do the other kids nor do I expect him to do what they can.
are you able to manage something where the other kids can do painting and playdough, while the 2 year old rug plays with toys within his developmental expectations??
