They want what they want right then and have no intention of doing what the group is doing. They have never heard "no" and they can not accept that they can't put their playdough on the older kids' paintings, that they can't throw blocks, or that they can't go grab all the glue guns at the art station. They will fight you to the end unrelentingly. And I just don't know what to do with them.... The nervous ones have lots of time to become more comfortable in the world and only deserve a little help in doing it.

In my better moments, I also love the whiners. It is really my problem and not so much theirs. That is, they will grow out of it; I'm done growing and need to just figure it out! Ha! Anyway, Brad said he was a whiner too, so that ought to help me take a breath and give the love. Thank you Cameron. In my better moments, I also love the whiners.

Keep that in mind and remember that that means that they need extra tolerance and love from the outside world! :) And congrats on all your hard work. I know that those 25 minutes would make me want to curl up on my bed with a book for about 30 hours! But you can't do that and you do the music program anyway! Go you! :) Some of the whiny kids might be whiny because of their home life… like the guy in the kitchen, I was an anxious kid–waiting for the proverbial shit to hit the fan, since it did on a fairly regular basis–so I’m sure I was whiny.

Then I went and gave birth to one! I have been forced to find tolerance for my little guy and his high energy.
