That is good to hear!
Like I said, it's so hard to deal with aggressive behaviors and while there are probably a million and one ways to address it, the issue still remains a tough one for family child care providers. Especially those working alone.
Kudos to you for trying to assist this child in learning more appropriate behaviors as it's so important.
Are you able to conference with or discuss any of this with his parents? Are they working WITH you ( & the child care) or are they pretty blind to it all?
