I had similar problems with a 2 year old...
told dad about it in front of child..
dad took child out to the car and "took care of business"
child came back in ..said sorry and was the best child I have ever had!
when kids know we can't "take care of business" ...then they act this way and get away with it.

I don't believe in having dad or mom do this for every little thing but when the kid KNOWS the parents and provider are on the same page and KNOWS that he is expected to behave or there will be consequences... it makes life so much easier and is good for the kid and group.
