annoying kids...how do you deal with them?

Having been a kindergarten teacher, I've encountered this many times. One of the things I would do with kids like these who always wanted to be the centre of attention would be to praise ANOTHER child who was sitting patiently and listening to me. This would make the child want to be the one I pointed to next. And I would make sure I noticed it when the 'annoying' kid was behaving the next time. My older son was always full of questions and would interrupt and ask questions when his teacher or I were talking to someone. We repeatedly had to remind him to wait till we finished talking. It took him more than a year to understand it and put it into practice. But it worked. Another thing one of his 3rd grade teacher would do (she had 2-3 children like the girl you mentioned), a certain period of the class (say 15 minutes) was no 'No interruption' time...and if anyone interuppted, they would forfeit their chance to ask a question during the class. It worked in their class.

its their nature.their are lots of things in life they wanna learn and wanted an explanation if not from you maybe from other people who they believe and trust.be patient .explain to them why you can't answer their questions. ask them nicely to lower their voices.they'd pay respect to you more when you keep them that way.

Most children are doing it just for the attention but some kids are unfortuneate and suffer from a type of Autisim that causes them to ask questions that are repetative and non stop. Usually they out grow/learn to control this behavior but during the early elementary years it can drive a teacher insane. My neighbor's daughter was that way when she was younger. So if you know that there is a medical explination usually the parents will set the boundries for the number of questions they may ask. I works really well because they are given question chips and when all the chips are used up they can ask no more questions. So they learn to think about the questions they wish to ask. Other options are to ignore their questions until they have performed the appropriate behavior (ie sat down in their seat and raised their hand)

i also had an experienced as yours. some time ago, i had a sat-in with my brother's 8th graders class. there was this boy who used to be very talkative. he want to stir and still the focus of all his classmates while my brother is teaching. thrawing paper planes, cramples his sitmate's things, slap and wipe carbon paper on his classmates faces, and the one that made me really rage is that he used to spit with somebody's faces, and squirt his mucus! Really if i were my brother, he could really lose his teeth.... But my bother is so patient. he's always telling that if he hurts one of his pupils, he hurt his ego. And because of that, he always trip this kids......

I have a 5 year old niece who is hyperactive. She will not stay put for a minute. She would always roam around and mess up everything. The more you tell her to stop the more that she will get persistent. So what we do is just let her be and when times comes that she is in trouble then that is the time that we tell her wrong doings so she will also learn from her mistakes. In as much as possible we try very hard to make her understand and hopefully she will change for the better as she grows up.

i can just wish you the best to deal with them :)

My daughter would drive you crazy then! She is 4 and she talks all the time to anything crazy enough to sit still long enough to be used as an audience to her endless chatterings its great tho she is so funny and has such a wonderful innocent imagination its hard not to get involved and enjoy her chatterings! added to that she has glue ear and trouble hearing most of this chattering is done at a very loud volume her teachers have endless patience with her they are incredible!

A friend of mine (I call her a friend, as she is, though, not a close, close friend) has 4 children, an older son, 2 daughters in the middle, and a younger son. The boys are OK, they're, well, I don't know how to say it, other than, they're not annoying, their sisters on the other hand, all I can say is WOW!! They have been annoying since I can remember, or actually, as babies, they were just that, babies who wanted to be with momma, but when they reached the age of 3, or somewhere around that the annoyance started! They always wanted to hug and be loved on, they always wanted your full, full attention. My friend needed a babysitter for the girls and younger boy when they were around school age, and since I'm a stay at home mom I volunteered for it. I was so glad it was only a summer job, and the next summer I had to tell her no, I just could not deal with those girls!! The girls are now 17 and 15 and would you believe they are still so annoying!! My daughter moved into an apt and we were moving some things in for her when I heard her squeal "Eeeek" and then I heard the door slam. I thought What the heck?? And went to see what had happened. She had the curtain open a little watching outside and when I approached her she was like "MOM!! LOOK!!" and it was the girls!!! Apparently their grandmother lived in the same complex. My daughter loved the apt but knew she couldn't stand being around those girls long so put into management to be placed in another complex. She had to stay there for awhile and put up with the girls for a bit but she has since been moved to another complex.

HI,not only kids even elders do such things.It is not that they r enjoying to make someone annoyed or disobey to the teachers its only that they dont understand what things are explained.As elders we just ignore the small things it is becox we dont hav time for them or patience.just watch the movie tarejameen may be this will help us to understand the kids who annoy.

I've encountered a lot of children like that. You know what I do to those kids when they act like that around me? ... Nothing! I don't touch them and I don't talk to them... I just look at them. I just look at them straight in the eye and they stop. I don't smile at them while I am looking at them straight eye to eye. I just keep silent and they automatically becomes silent. It's really effective to the kids I know or kids that I've encountered who are really annoying.

well there are two main responses to chatterbox children, you indulge them or you ignore them. that sounds harsh but in practice it's not so bad. I never stopped talking as a kid, my mum used to tell people to ask me a question and then just occasionally say "uhum, arhh, really" and leave me to it. i would figure ut eventually that i was talking too much and shut up. really i wasn't being demanding and i'd stop if needed. but some kids can't. These kids demand attention and when they don't get the polite indulgence method you need to train them by ignoring them. rules like 'please put your hand up before you speak' help, or simply saying that you can't ask questions until the end. ultimatly you need to be in charge and make sure the kids know that. I've had kids i've been forced to tell that i will not listen to until 10 O'clock just so i get 5 minutes peace, but it works, and slowly increasing the time teaches them to wait.
