Here's a hypothical one for you. I'll give you all a few days to come up with a solution, and then we can talk again. Forward this to fellow grown ups for their ideas. I'm curious to see what the majority says...
A teacher last week who was having a bit of an issue. She has a three year old in her room who loves to take off his shoes. Whenever they go outside, come back in, just hang out, it doesn't matter, this little guy takes off his shoes and socks.
So, on this particular day, she tells him that he needs to put on his shoes in order to come to the table for snack. He refuses. She holds steadfast to the rule. He stays barefoot, and she serves the other children. After a few minutes she tells him that snacktime will be over very shortly so he needs to "come and get it," but to no avail. Then, within minutes of the the assistant taking the snack back to the kitchen, Mr. Born Free quickly puts on his shoes and sits at the table...
What would you do?
