Sorry, I went back to read, and yes, it is about a 3 years old.

But it doesn't change a bit what I think.

3 years old is still really young. And as much as we, as adults, and as a society, we want them to grow fast, 3 years old is NOTHING compared to the 80 years coming.

She doesn't have to be able to do circle time, she doesn't have to be terminated for that. This is what I think. But I do understand that fighting against a crier is hard, so why not give her what she seeks: free play! FlexFunCare does mention that she is happy when getting free play. So let her grow out of that stage at her own pace. We can, as caregivers, accompany the kids to achievements (in all the spheres of their young life to come), but we have to hold their hands, not pull them towards what we beleive should be.

I know I don't see things the way most people do, but I see this as respecting the child. Now if "nothing" was pleasing her, I would say it is not a fit and she is unhappy. But "something"IS making her happy, so why go against it. Let her come to you instead of forcing her...
