This week has been a struggle with a certain child. He somehow adopted the habit of going around pretending to "pew pew" people. We have tried over and over to explain why it is not ok at school but the behavior has only gotten worse and now other younger children are copying him. Any advice on ways to get through to a 3 year old that this behavior is inappropriate?

Redirect him toward appropriate play and positively reinforce the appropriate behavior with attention and praise. Give less attention to the unwanted behavior and more attention to what you’d like to see.

Great advice thank you!

At that age, he is probably only getting attention in negative ways at home so getting attention for negative things at school is normal for him. I would ignore

That's one of the things we tried this week and it has really helped!

As a middle school teacher, i see the importance of finding out why a child is saying and acting out this way. At some point someone is going to report it as a threat.

I think part of it too is he is so young he just looks at it as a way to play a game with friends not understanding the severity of the issue.
