Thank you all for your responses. This particular DCG that I have sought advice for in the post has now been with me 2 weeks starting tomorrow. She has adjusted quite fabulously & it only took her 2 days before she was nicely adjusted & already used to our daycare.
I have also made some great strides with mom. I have made very clear the expectations that I have of my parents & she has abided by then quite nicely so far (knock on wood).
As for the bottle & blankie, mom is quite shocked that I have been able to have her WILLINGLY part with them with no issues whatsoever. Now when I remove her bottle from her bag to put in my fridge she looks at the bottle & continues on playing & doesn’t become upset at the sight of them. Her blankie she willingly leaves on her bed after she wakes up from her nap & is now (of all 4 kids) the happiest one right after nap.
Again, thanks for the advice, both positive & negative advice. I welcome all opinions & do understand that when I make posts I may receive some negative advice as well. If it’s any consolation, I do in fact love my job & take pride in the work that I do with these kids. When these kids come to me they are completely dependent on their parents for every minor task & detail, & within a few weeks they are able to learn to do some minor but important life skills such as putting their shoes on, washing their hands, using a spoon/self-feeding, cleaning up their mess, etc. 2 of the 3 children that I care for weren’t able to even play independently without needing their parent to guide them & decide for them what to play with & had no interest in wanting to at least try things out for themselves. & now they are confident little darlings who are eager to learn & show a strong interest in trying to learn things.
