I have a new 2yr & 9month old boy. He's been in daycare with me for 6 days now and with others since he was 10mos old. His mom removed him from his last provider because she didn't agree with her practices as she learned to find out DCP used to leve the kids in the yard almost all day (no matter the weather) and she would be indoors reading. Dcb would get hurt very often in the summer as he was the yongest of the bunch....all others were school aged (7/8 year olds) which means during the school year he was alone all day.

So when we're home all he does is ask to go to the park. Are we going yet? when are we going? aren't we going to go? on and on and on........We go to the park and he sits in a corner and cries to go home. We get home and he asks if we're going out!!!

I know this is new for him to adjust to me but really?!

When I mentioned to his dad that he had a rough time at the park dad was shocked. He said that they can't keep him still or in one place when they go. I also told dad that he napped his full 2hrs and again shock....but that one I expected. He "doesn't" nap when dad/mom try to make him at home. Other than the sulkyness he eats great and naps well and is doing great w/ potty training...he tells me when!

Anyways....we go to the park with 5-6 other little boys his age. If I cuddle him he goes into "ugly cry". He's used to this...should I give it more time or tough love of "that's enough, go play"?
