how to stop children from running inside

[Lanolin]

I cluttered up the library with furniture so that its impossible to run around in there, like a maze.

I hadn't figured out how to make them from Nerf......

no

My better job is writing stories about my job lol

What do you do?

I thought of having furniture barriers or a string curtain.
Or maybe a hamster wheel for them.
signs dont work as they cant or dont read them.

If they dont listen and keep disobeying, do you just ban them for life or what. Tired of playing traffic cop. Solutions please!

Duck tape or lock the door

Tie their legs together? Too much? lol

if they come before classtime I usually find books for them if I see them wandering round looking lost. I think with those boys though I havent had the time to. But I can look up their record and see if they had any books out and maybe call them in to ask them to do some jobs for me.

To make up for it, as I have done with children who've lost books. Maybe if I do that, theire example of being naughty can be redeemeed and turned around. And they could learn what the library is really for.

Sounds like a good idea.

what I will do is call them out of class and get them to do a job for me, when theres nobody else in the library. Then maybe they will come to value it. I dont normally do this but i think these boys need to learn cos if they dont they will grow up missing out on something so essential that they foolishly threw away without even really knowing.

should I do this indivdually or the 3 boys as a group? Or maybe just the eldest one who started the troublemaking.

I would do it one at a time because in a group they feel stronger and more likely to act up.

My little brother used to run laps back and forth across the house. This would go on until he'd fall and cry. Then his Dad would accuse me of knocking him down even though I was in a totally separate room. His Dad was a real piece of work. The problem was that...
A. He was at an age where he had LOTS of energy and wasn't provided an outlet for a safe way to use that up. Even dogs need walks, but his Dad, not mine, didn't have anything to do with him.
B. My brother was often given sugary treats.
Even little hyperactive boy can see cause and effect.

This is a proper way to help little boys use that energy. Motivated! Dedicated! Hallelujah!!
💪😄👊

yea I dont know why teachers would give children chocolates, lollies and sugary drinks as treats and then tell them they cant run around.

I did say to some teachers before you bring your class to the library can you send them for a run or a few laps around the field before they come. Then they would be so tired out they wouldnt want to run IN the library.

This worked ok but it was just the play times that could be a problem.

Young children are always in motion. They need an outlet to burn some of that energy before class starts. I never thought about it before, but when I was in elementary school, there was something to that play ground time before school started, during a mid morning recess, and after lunch.

elimate surgar during school and give them 5 pounds of chocalte to eat before they go home so parents will appreacate Teachers more.

 

[Lanolin]
