So a few weeks ago I and a coworker had our earpieces in admin saw me and told me to take it out I was making a light hearted 'prank' with my other coworker and said she had hers in too. Admin told us to take it out and just left it at that. She started calling me weird for doing that and didn't lighten up even after I told her I was sorry? It was genuinely a joke and it's not like we even got written up for it. Not only that but she's friends with our director and the next day our director comes to 'talk' to us i.e. scream at us about the "ear piece incident". And without saying it was me was going off about my preformance very publically and embarrassing me. She blamed me for a child leaving the daycare (parents complained he comes home everyday covered in poop. What happened was he would have blowouts because of his diet). What do I do?

I have a 4 year old in the class I sub in. He can be really sweet but he also does a lot of attention seeking behaviors and just generally stresses me out.

Transitions are the worst for him when he's playing with a high value activity (sandbox) even with reminders of how much time they have left. He will run away from the line and continue running around the room after the other children have lined up. He has sat and scratched his entire face up. He will hit himself while he knows I'm watching him. He will demand I listen to him and will scream and run if I don't, calmly telling him I will listen to him after I am done with what I am doing is not good enough for him either. He has on 2 occasions screamed in my ear, this was provoked because he didn't want to clean up. He will run down the hallway and scream that I'm "hurting" him when I try to hold his hand. He will hang off the handles of the bathroom door and keep deliberately running into me even after I walk away from him. I try to ignore his behavior but it is incredibly difficult when the class follows after him and he is physically hitting and kicking me and the other kids.

He can be so sweet and such a good helper but he is just so difficult to deal with when he doesn't get his way, and an issue I'm running into is his mom will give him a stress toy and he will use it for anything else but stress. He will throw it in the classroom and it will become a distraction or destroy it and then his mom will complain that I'm not "working hard enough" with her son. Last week was the first time I genuinely felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack and it was because he was screaming and running and hiding in the bathrooms. Another issue I'm having too is that even management doesn't want to take him. If my assistant director sees him calm with me she will take the next oldest to maintain ratio and just keep him with me.

Any tips? Any resources to help him and me get along better?

Hi, long time lurker first time poster. Anyways, I'm friends with my coworker who has a daughter in the 3 year old class. This week her daughter hasn't been listening to me, plays in the bathroom all the time and refuses to come out until I physically pull her out of the bathroom then she screams because she wants to dry her hands. Mind you she has been in the bathroom for 5 minutes at that point and has been asked multiple times to go dry her hands. She also will run around the room and not get in line when its time to line up for bathroom breaks. She screams at friends in their faces and will jump up and down in the chairs before lunchtime. Today her mom told me everyone in the center tells her I'm the problem and I overexaggerate her daughter's behavior. My coworker is friends with the director's daughter outside of work.

What do I do?? Am I the problem? Or is my center just playing favorites?? Mind you the day prior the assistant director had to talk to her daughter because she caught her running around and screaming in the class while I was laying my cots down.
