Looking for anyone to give guidance to the CDA credential. I'm currently enrolled in the center based Infant/Toddler course and need a little help with my portfolio. Anyone?
Looking for advice please. I work at a daycare in the young toddler classroom. We have a child who is 22 months. She is an attention seeker to begin with, very loud and animated, she is for lack of a better way to put it always on, as if she is a performer on a stage.

We have a child who is 22 months. She is an attention seeker to begin with, very loud and animated, she is for lack of a better way to put it always on, as if she is a performer on a stage. Her behaviors run from smacking her teachers in the face, to,throwing chairs to repeating the same behavior over and over and over until we have to resort to physically removing her from the place she is doing the behavior. She will scream so loud when she is stopped from doing what she wants to do that the entire school will hear her. Lately she has begun swearing at her teachers and other children, these swears include the f word and the b word, today I heard her say the male c word! she also yells at you saying "shut up!". We have tried ignoring her behaviors and they intensify and continue. We try to only phrase things in a positive manner with what is expected of her. We remove her physically from where she is creating a danger for self or others. Honestly, it just seems to be getting worse. We are really struggling and obviously this type of activity affects her entire classroom. Would greatly appreciate any insight or ideas.

I'm a dad. I didn't like how my school communicated with me and my wife about my children, so me and another dad got together and started to build an app that facilitates communication between schools and us. We've built what we can with the feedback that we've gotten so far, but we are looking for me beta testers to use it and help us build it.
I'm the founder - the app's name is Parvanda; it manages communication between parents and schools, and we're looking into having it also manage tuition payments. One-stop shop. We're only a few months in, but have a few schools already using our system and we're very excited, but know we have a long way to go.
I'm looking for help from this community to help us build the best app we can, and we know we can't do it alone. If you're interested, visit parvanda.com, and you can send me a message through this forum or send an email to [email removed].
I'll set you up with a free account to kick the tires and get you my email address so you can provide feedback and have a direct line of communication with me.
If you're interested in helping us by using and testing the app, we'll be forever grateful.
What Do Young Children Really Need? Ask Old MacDonald an article by Abby Connors
I learned that “Old MacDonald” satisfies important emotional and developmental needs for young children. For instance...
Hello all,
I am looking for some help with a little girl that I have in my three-year-old classroom: She loves getting in trouble.

I am looking for some help with a little girl that I have in my three-year-old classroom: She loves getting in trouble.
Every time she does something wrong, she smiles and laughs about her bad choice. She will push/hit/kick/etc people, specifically and especially my two special needs kids, and then turn to see our reaction and smile at us. She spends the entirety of carpet time talking to and distracting all of the people around her. If we ask her to do something, she will scream, "WHY?" and yell at us. She poops and pees in her diaper on purpose and refuses to go on the toilet, even though I know that she is capable of going. When we get upset with her, she asks us if she's going to get in trouble like she's excited about it and wants to know if she "gets to" go see the principal.
She's been in our room for five months and I am out of ideas. We have tried a sticker chart, a smiley/sad face chart, our pom pom jar (the classroom behavioral management system), stickers, etc and she just doesn't care. She would rather get negative attention than positive attention and I'm out of ideas on how to change that around.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it because we're getting incredibly frustrated with her.
Just wanted to find out how this daycare is?

I also work with 3-4 year olds. I have a number of "difficult" preschoolers in my group. It sounds like you've tried many things. I would be frustrated too. I'm just wondering whether or not you have the parents support? Are they backing you up and following through with consequences at home. Sometimes that makes all ...See More
