He does not cry during centers, but when it is time to do CVC words at the carpet or table work he cries. I feel it is a means of escape or attention but the co-teacher will baby him into compliance. What could be done? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Children need parenting and instruction. They can’t raise themselves. I don’t see how letting your child have a meltdown for as long as they want is helpful. Controlling your emotions and not letting your emotions control you, is something that the children have to learn and practice. I would reckoned talking to his/hers parents about this.
