Not sure if this helps but wanted to share something with you. My sons are now 16 and 14. But when they were small and in daycare I wanted my first to be this "follow the rule, bestest behaved kid". He seemed to always do something when licensing would come in. One day, she emailed me after her visit and told me "I was nit-picking him and to allow him to go along like the others". I had known her for years as her kids were in the center I had worked at in the 80's before beginning my home child care in 1992. So I took her advice and I was much better with my second son. I think alot of my first son's behavior was due to my way of dealing with him and allowing him to stress me which stressed him. Just some thoughts!
