Do you have a teacher voice? If not learn one. Talk assertive but not yelling when children are misbehaving. The children have to trust you to learn from you so establishing a good teacher relationship is crucial. The fact that they listen to others and not you shows me that they are capable of listening.

I’m concerned when you say you can’t spend one on one time with anyone because someone is doing something unsafe? What are they doing? Remove all materials deemed unsafe as they probably shouldn’t be in the classroom anyways and will save you time. Limit toys if you can, maybe there is too much going on in the room causing the craziness.
