I've worked in the childcare setting for over nine year, teaching children of all ages and abilities. At the begining of the year I left my job as a nursery manager to travel. I'm now an au pair for a very nice family (this is not quite the job they promised me but i'm out here now) However in all the years i've taught children I have never had such a difficult job! The family want English lessons, with the boys sitting and writing and such so that when the mother comes home she can see what they have done. The eldest has quite bad behavioural problems and no boundries from the parents. The younger is much more placid and enjoys ourtime playing games and such. I've just taken on another boy from the eldest child's school and it is like world war three!!! the youngest and this new boy love all the crafts, games, singing and such butthe eldest spends the entire time shouting over me throwing things trying to get the others to miss behave. I have tried giving concequence to his actions, i've tried trying to find a common intrest, trying to be friends, triying to be firm, everything i can think and nothing is working. Sorry for the long post but please has anyone got any ideas I thought this was the one job I was good at !
