Kindermusik Blues

We are still battling...A and I. She is NOT winning though. She gets a spanking every K-music class. But it is getting later and later in the class time each week. She just doesn't want to emit any control over herself, and I say want because she can. I am working with her on staying on task and not just walking away when bored. Puzzles for instance, she pours all the pieces (we're talking 10) off the puzzle board and then does one and wants to walk away. I make her stay and work the whole thing. R's practices, I make her sit the first 30 minutes and then she can get up. My friend taught me this technique for stretching their attention span, and understanding stop. Her K-music teacher is a big proponent of this method, she still uses it with her bigger kids. At the dinner table as soon as she is done she wants down. No,we are making her stay til we are all finished with eating, not talking, cause we linger for 30 to 45 minutes afterward talking especially if T is here. She has got to be able to sit. This wasn't an issue with R but every child is different. And we are working those. :)
