There has got to be some way to better educate families about what to do for their kids to prepare them for daycare - starting with stop doing it all for them to begin with. I have a now 13 month old that is only now pulling to a stand but won't crawl to you at all. Even when parents come to the door the child just gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth and cries reaching out for someone to come and get him. We are encouraging him on this one and parents of course have to let him do it at my house cause I am in the way of them going to get him and just keep coaxing him to come to the door. He no longer takes a bottle or cup for me and just screams when he sees it but is back to waking in the night twice for a bottle each time. I figure fine at least he is staying hydrated. Both babies still nap 2 hours morning cause they are up half the night.
