    GymMom, I had a dramatic boy who I called Jeckyll & Hyde because it was like he had a split personality when he was with me and with his parents. The guy knew how to play them like a finely tuned instrument! I cannot even count the phases he went through over 3 1/2 years being here until he left for JK and his Mom would agree. It was really difficult for her but not so much for me because once she left he stopped whatever he was going on about. Kids are sneaky and manipulative, make no mistake about it. They just do it at their child level with basic needs as their focus and getting attention is a basic need for a child.

    Talk to the parents, remain calm and breathe and hopefully this phase will pass quickly. You didn't say, but I'm hoping he is only doing it in front of the parents. Does he stop when they are gone?

    He is 2 1/2 and yes the tears stop before mom gets back in her car! Can't help but take it a little personally though!
