Tantrum kid

This 3 year old kid was not paying attention during my lesson. When I asked him to point to his mouth, he pointed to his nose instead. Obviously he had not been listening. So I said to him, "You are not listening!" and he started throwing tantrum by remaining in this position for more than 15 minutes. He refused to budge even when I tickled him. Other children were laughing to see me tickling him, but he remained in this position and refused to look up. He refused to join the class when they left the carpet and had their snack. He remained in this position on the carpet.

His way of protesting. Just because I said, "You are not listening!"
