The children were always running around, yelling and screaming, and generally creating quite the ruckus. However, the kids seemed to love it and the parents usually reacted to the fun that the children were having. Pretty much if their children seem happy parents will let a lot of things slide including some lack of discipline in the classroom. They always did seem to be having a good time. There was a lot of game playing and there also was a lot of artwork and other things generated for the parents.
Parents love that kind of stuff.
In general, CJ's job for us really didn't require much in the way of lifting or picking up the children. Frankly, that's a good procedure for childcare as children need to see you on their level sometimes to really connect with you. So the fact that CJ was frequently down at floor or child eye level was to our advantage in the program. I don't know whether CJ was doing this because of the epilepsy or simply because that's CJ's style. I never really asked the question.
