    after thinking about everyones suggestions last night, i realized i have been feeding into the crying by trying to get her to stop. so as soon as she started, i sent her to her mat and told her when she was ready to be big and come back she could. took about 45 mins and then she came and played. im going to try and be consistent and hope this works. im just at a loss and am just trying to prevent her tears from affecting the others

    I do this with my daycare kids when they are having a meltdown. I tell them to go sit on the bottom stair and when they have stopped crying and are calm they can re-join the group. It gives them a sense of control when they are in an out of control state. It works like a charm.
