oh man! I know exactly how you feel. I have a screamer as well, every time another child makes a loud noise or cries, this little one beginds to cry himself, and some days it seems he spends more time crying than being quiet. I do have a lot of patience after doing this job for so long, I can ignore the screams and cries quite well but I can never stop it from affecting my stress level deep down, and that in turn can effect the whole group, seems the others can sense your stress or another childs stress, not to mention, even if you feel okay on the outside...after having a day with a screamer, I always notice I am much tired, much earlier than ussual. It really takes a lot more out of you than you think sometimes. Here's to hoping you have a good rest of your week!
