I just started being a 1 on 1 with a 3 year old little girl in her Sunday School class. This position was required because she has no attention span and runs all over the room with delayed social skills. She is a cute little girl but needs extra help. Our goal is to get her to sit and listen to the stories and songs without jumping on the other kids and running around the room and wanting to continue playing with toys. Last week was a challenge because she started to throw a tantrum when she was requested to stay in one spot. We really want to keep her in the class rather than call her parents and interupt their worship time but I don't know how to accomplish this task. She does well when supervised at the table and when she gets to do what she wants to do. Last week I took her away from the circle and made her sit in the chair at the table (still not happy but controllable) Her parents are all about choices but she doesn't seem to listen to her options in this situations. Please, any other suggestions? We want her to enjoy Sunday School but adjust her social skills.
