What Am I To Do?
(a poem about challenging behavior in the preschool classroom)
He's thirty pounds of goading
You cannot believe he could
Sweetest little face and eyes
He will not do what he should.
He pours lunch milk on the floor,
Slowly dumps out all the blocks,
Takes special toys from his friends,
And runs when it's time to walk.
Of course, when the lights go out
and the slow nap music plays
He is now singing loudly
tapping his foot, like a stage.
Shh! Shh! Take care! Please! Be kind!
I plead in so many ways
"Head, Shoulders, Knees" he now sings
The song we practiced today.
He's thirty pounds of goading
You cannot believe he could
Sweetest little face and eyes
He will not do what he should.
