I have a group of mostly boys. Two of them I can GUARANTEE you have ADHD. They are great boys but they have no self control at all despite their ages (5.5 and 4) and the constant reminders. The rest are typical hyper, busy boys!
I have been dividing my group of 9/10 preschoolers into two rooms. One group gets the main center time and table rooms while the other group can play at the circle time room with those toys. The chaos is so much less now and they are playing with people and toys that they weren't before.
1.5 weeks of doing this and I am not going back! They are all together during arrival play time, meals, circle time, and outdoor time. Otherwise they are divided!
