As I had posted, I just started with 2 new boys. We are mid way through week number two and I'm noticing that the older boy espeically, is very, VERY sensitive. He is the sweetie pie who picked flowers for me and loves loves loves the baby. He seems to get his feelings hurt by a lot of things, my rules for one thing? Well, I wouldnt even call them my rules, but the way I do things when it comes to daycare. For example, I have a set menu of snacks and breakfast, we all have the same snack (there are a few things so that if there is something someone doesnt like there is something else), so I'm not making a million different things for 5 kids. He continually asks every day for something different than what I have planned for that day and seems hurt when I say that this is the snack that I have planned for today.... He also likes to walk way off ahead of us, or leave the park while we are still gathering our things getting ready to go, so when I ask him to wait for us (I dont yell, I just call out to him to wait up!!) he again seems genuinly hurt that I've asked him to wait for the rest of us. Or again, stand with us while waiting at the school for the others to come instead of allowing him to wander in and out of the school while we wait. I find myself starting to be nervous all the time of hurting his feelings, and worried that hes going to be unhappy here because his feelings are hurt all the time by the way things are here with me.

This is also the child who has ADHD who I was asking you all about. Is this sensitivity part of it? or this just happens to be his personality? either way, how would you handle this?
