Hi ladies, thanks so much in advance for any advice given!!
I feel comfortable talking about this here, as I need Mom advice and daycare!

MY son is the daycare child that is driving me nuts and it totally breaks my heart! The whole reason I didn't go back to my career was so that I could be the one to stay home and raise my son and daughter, but I am so frustrated with my son that I constantly threaten to send him to a different daycare (I know, horrible)! I usually have amazing patients but I am on my last straw with him.

He constantly is taking toys from others, I think he wants the reaction. He will wait until they have something and then grab it! He wanders around never really engaging in anything very long unless I am sitting right with him. The other toddler here tries to play with him and it starts out nice then just turns into a non sharing war! I can't even get my foot out of the room before I hear the other kid yelling at him to give whatever back! We practice nice words, how to share, how to take turns, etc. I have tons of activities set up, so he isn't bored. I have realized that he is an attention seeker, even when daycare isn't going on, my husband and I can hardly talk without him making a huge racket on purpose to interrupt out talks. He tries to talk over us the minute we start talking! i tell him how rude that is and he usually ends up having to sit (time out). he gets tons of one on one attention, and special days just for him, but even with that...if I spend a whole hour sitting and playing with him, I get up and he says "will you play with me". Ahhh he ends up in time out so many times a day and I feel so guilty because I end up yelling at him. He has always been like this, even in his old daycare (that he went to from 10 months to 18months) they said he always took kids toys and wasn't good at just playing by himself!
He is such a sweetheart...but I am seeing him as "that kid" the ones that a lot of us complain about on here! Oh he is 2.5 ....I haven't worked with a lot of toddlers, is this typical? What should I do? Would he benefit going to a different daycare part time? I don't want to punish him and I am glad right now I am the one who is seeing the behaviour and can try and work on it, but I feel like I am so much more short with him then with the others because he is driving me nuts with the constant attention seeking! I give him TONS of positive attention, tons! And it isn't like having other kids around is new, we were the "play date house" when I was on mat leave. We always went to drop in too so he has been well socialized....I'm really bad at ignoring his negative behaviours because I want him to share and be a nice friend, but maybe I need to? And just let the other toddlers tell him? I don't know! I'm so sad and so frustrated and feel like a failure of a mother and that I made a horrible mistake staying home! The only time I can catch a break from him is when the tv is on or he gets to use our iPad, but both these things I try to limit, although they are really the only thing he engages in!
On a side now, has anyone read "the happiest toddler on the block"? If so, would that help me?
Thanks so much for reading this!
