Has anyone ever had a child in their care that they just could not emotionally connect to? This is literally the first time in my 10+ years of working with children that I am not emotionally connecting to a child in my care. Obviously, he doesn't know the difference (I hope!!!) I still offer tons of cuddles and smiles, etc. and play with him as often as the other children. I just don't have that lovey feeling with him as I do with the other children. He's only been here for 4 weeks, but usually I have connected by now. How did these relationships work for you in your experience? Just keep on trucking? The only 'side effect' I've noticed, is that I become annoyed with him faster than other children when he is misbehaving, not eating, etc (but I don't show it, I promise, just feel it)
Thoughts? Experiences?
