    I have a 2 year old in my care who goes bonkers if I am not in view as well. I continue talking to him and giving reassurance that all is well and I am right here while I quickly get accomplish my task. I have noticed that story time circle really helps him to learn to sit close but not on me and interact with the group and still feel secure.lts anlong process if I'm on my feet and he is not feeling 100% about it its a cry fest. its been a month and his parents think he's still in transition. nap time is time a horror show of screaming. it disrupts nap time and fills the house with noise. thankfully he is a short term contract !

    6 hours is a long time to deal with crying, what do he parents say? are you able to get a nap in for a break? will he stop if you are holding him? for your own sanity I would plan with he parents a end date for care.

    I have had a few kids do this when they are relatively new. It usually subsides eventually, but can take a couple of months I have found, especially if the child started with you as a 2 year old. I have a 2 year old who did this for at least 2-3 months (only when I left his sight), but he is now fine. it just takes longer for some kids to trust you...especially if they have had bad experiences in the past or if they have experienced a lot of change (ie. changing daycares). I don't know if there is anything other than time that can solve this

    He is full time and his parents say he is just getting used to it but the thing is. I have 4 other kids to take care of and i can't even turn to feed another baby while he is beside me because he will start screaming He does nap but as soon as he is up it starts all over again.
