Scenario #2: Mistaken Behavior

Carrie has three boys and drops off her middle son, Sebastian, who is almost three, at the childcare center 20 minutes before the other children in his class arrive. Because of Carrie’s work schedule, this needs to happen every morning. Sebastian really enjoys playing in the block area and is happy playing with two of his imaginary friends, “Bob” and “Conroy.” Sebastian is in such a great mood during this time! He laughs and shares the blocks with his “friends.” As soon as another child arrives at the center and wants to play in the block area too, Sebastian screams, “NO! This is MY block place! Go away!” He cries and is inconsolable for at least 30 minutes. He falls to the floor kicking and screaming, seemingly unconcerned about hurting anyone he might kick during his tantrum.
