Challenging Behavior Scenario: 

Its Circle Time and you are reading a story.  Most of the children are engaged but Jose is squirmy.  Halfway through the story, Jose begins to make 'choo choo' noises while squirming and the rest of the children are being distracted.  You have asked him to listen to the story, but he is not complying.

· Please remember when answering the questions above that Jose is only 2 years old.
