Having a cryer/screamer/miserable child in the group is exhausing for all of the people in the daycare, adult or child. I know that. I really hope your little person turns the corner soon.

I have a family in care who make me want to terminate in 5 small ways every week, I swear! But nothing big enough ever for me to say 'that's it!' so I feel your pain. It just isn't fair when we have one child or parents who make us dread our day, is it? Pretty much since I started daycare I've had one client like that. Somebody who makes me go ugh, them, here they come! If you are lucky they are the part-timers. In my case even when the parents are on vacation they bring their child to me. What does that tell you? They don't like their child any more than me? Sad!
