Hi,

I work in school as a TA, so I can see where you're coming from, although reception doesn't seem as bad for teasing as some of the later years.

What I'm trying to do with my sons unpleasant habit is use just one word as a reminder not to do it. (i'm doing a psychology A level, our module on conditioning has influenced me I think!!! )When he does it I say, "Ewan, nose!" and he stops. It hasn't stopped him doing it, but he stops immediately when reminded, and using the one word reminder saves me nagging and chafing. The trouble is, I'm not able to follow him to school saying, "nose" so I'm just hoping if I say ot often enough at home, he will get the message eventually!!!

Just a thought, have you ever shown her a mirror when shes doing her thing? Maybe she will realise it makes her look bad, and won't want to scare her friends!
