I've just started teaching classes of between 2 and 14 students (kindergarten age mainly), after teaching classes of over 30 for more than two years and, although I know it will take time to get used to it, i feel I need to get some advice.

The kids are Chinese and can be very 'hard to please'! I have one or two kids that are off the wall - they spend their time running around the class doing everything except that which I ask them or want to do with them.

Does anyone have any ideas or know of any good articles or books for teaching very young kids, specifically in small classes and especially those with behaviour issues?

Thanks in advance
