I'm sorry you have to deal with that. At his age, he definitely should understand what you're telling him. Maybe during circle time he just has to sit by you the entire time. I'm sure you've probably already tried that. It would be wrong to discontinue circle time because of him. Why hurt all the other kids when he's the one being naughty. I have an 18 month old like that, but he's 18 months old, so I give him a bit more slack although I don't allow it. I still correct him. I hate to say it, I really do, but he may not stop until one of these kids knocks him on his keister when he's in their face. Sometimes that's the only language they know. Don't flame, I do not tolerate any wrong doing, but sometimes it happens before you can catch it.
