Redirecting Celia to another activity will not only stop her from destroying others' sandcastles but also engage her in a different, more positive activity. Telling her to stop doing that might not be effective because she may not understand why or what she is doing wrong. Making her feel guilty is not appropriate for preschoolers and could harm her self-esteem. Ignoring the behavior may not be effective and could result in other children being upset or frustrated with her actions.
