Good points everyone. I transitioned a 17 month old boy who started Jan 3rd. Boy, was he a nightmare! He didnt cry or scream, but he was a WHINER!!! uggg constant!! I try to forget how bad he was, but I definetly contemplated terming him after 2 weeks, but stuck thru. He is alot better now, but still gets in his whiney moments.

I decided to not give into his whines for attention (he always was happy if I carried him around with me). I agree its best if I just treated him like any other dck and I dont pick them up only to bring them on the changetable or if they got hurt etc. I did assure him he is okay, but also telling him "we dont whine here, you are fine". After a while he totally got the hang of things and plays happily with the others and is a really good eater. No concerns now!

You have put up with it alot longer than I did though...Im not sure i could handle it for that long. My kid was full time also, yours being part time, yes, longer transition time.

If you feel that enough is enough, then by all means, dont feel as though you have to put up with it. Term if you need to. Then next kid could be a dream.
