But, yes, over all I agree with trying to strike a balance between providing for the needs of one and the needs of the group. But, I know for a fact if I ever did a hands over hands forced clean up in my college lab classes, I would have gotten a heck of a reaction from my professors! And I also know absolutely no one does this in respected programs here. If a newbie teacher or assistant did, it would be cleared up immediately that it's not acceptable. The hand over hand thing for clean up is really not accepted. Physical handling is when necessary. Like you said, if they must get in a car seat and won't. Or have to diaper change and they won't. Or if they are climbing a table. Or if they are about to hurt someone. Not for cleaning up though. That one child doesn't NEED to clean up for the clean up to happen. That's making them do it because you want compliance. If they won't get in the car seat and you have to go, that one child does have to do it, to make it where you can leave. There's a difference.
