Having worked in many daycare centers as well OS operating an in-home daycare on and off for years, I have had my share of "bratty" or defiant children. Many times these children behave well for their parents and are just testing the boundaries of their caretakers. Unfortunatley. more often, the parents have trained these kids to be very undiciplined and are inconsistent with their rules and boundaries. I am very strict and am also very fun. Imake it very clear from the beginning that there are rules here and that they will be followed. When a child decided to, for example, scream at the top of her lungs, hit other children or refuse to listen when told not to, or to do something, he or she would immediately be put in time out or whatever punishment was appropriate. If someone is screaming, and we don't allow screaming, i remnind them once that they need to use their inside voice and that we don't allow screaming. If it continues, she goes to time out and must sit queitly for the proper time. Afterwards, she is to listen to me while I explain to her why she had a time out or why she lost a privledge. It is the job of a caretaker to teach children how to work out their feelings and how to properly use their communication skills. In some instances, children will continue to misbehave because their parents are oblivious to how badly they are letting their kids behave. I have on occasion had to dismiss a child for the better of the other children and my own sanity. Most often people tell me that their kids listen better to me than them. Getting a proper early childhood development education will make you a better caregiver and allow you to understand the reasons for a child's behavior and help you to help the child.

How does a daycare provider deal with a bratty child?

A professional childcare provider should be educated in working with children with behavioral issues and if she (or he) isn't, she should enroll in classes or at least read some books on the subject. But I want to say that such children shouldn't be referred to as "bratty". A similar question refers to the child as "defiant". Obviously something is causing the child's behavioral problems and should be dealt with accordingly and within the confines of the law and educational precepts. But when describing the child as "bratty" the daycare provider is, in her own mind, labeling the child and failing to see the possibilities and opportunities that working with this child may bring to the child.
