Crying during nap... how long do you let it go on.

[apples and bananas]

I'm seriously considering terminating this child. It's so unfortunate cause he's a dream in every other aspect, but the nap... I can't listen to 2 hours of screaming and now it's upsetting the other kids too. I'm out of rooms to put him in where he won't wake anyone up. He's been here 2 full weeks plus 2 weeks of transition and we are still not making any headway at all! He is comfortable in every other way, he even comes right to me when mom drops him off in the am and has never carried on when she leaves. Seriously... the screaming I just can't take anymore. UGH!

I'm sorry. I feel your pain. I've had this happen in the past. I wish I could remember how long it lasted, but I honestly can't. A good month or so, I think...at least. I was lucky enough to have the space to seriously separate the screamer. All kids sleep up in the rooms and this one was in a room in the finished basement, which happens to be insulated since it's my hubby's music room. and after all else failed, I just let him scream it out while I watched TV with headphones since it's upsetting to listen to. He eventually gave up and was a dream napper for the remaining 4 years....
