Hi All ! so not too long ago I had an annonysmus post posted about a screaming issue we are having here at day care. Over the last 3 weeks dcg has started screaming uncontrollably when she does not get her way, when she doesn't want to do something, or when the other kids don't share with her when she wants a toy right away. She will now scream, wait for me to look at her, and then look me right in the eye and scream even louder... I started using the "time-out" away from the group and it worked for a few days very successfully. Now, however she screams while in time-out away from the group...like repetitive high pitched squealing/screeching. We are mid way into a new week and the screaming has intensified in volume, and frequency. During yesterday's nap time non of the dcks could sleep as the screaming (not crying) was loud enough for everyone to hear. I called dcm who came immediately to pick up dcg because at I was concerned that there may be something wrong physically with like an ear infection or something else and that she should take her to the doctors for a quick check to make sure she's not sick. Anyways, at drop off today dcd was saying that mom and dad think this screaming could be due to teething, gas, or a new diaper rash that she has.....now I understand that no parent wants to hear that there child is having some issues, but this screaming has been progressively getting worse over the last three weeks and in my opinion, she isn't portraying any symptoms of illness that I can see (yes I know that I am not a doctor).......what is my next step? I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks now, and today I have stared to just ignore her frequent screams (harder to do than said!!) and it's been worse. We are a small home day care so a loud screamer is extremely disruptive...if she were in a larger facility with more children I'm guessing it would be more tolerable....I feel like I'm failing here an just want to have my pleasant day care, and my pleasant dcg back!! What would you do if time-out's, ignoring, nurturing stopped working and the screaming only got worse? Is it unreasonable for me to talk to the parents to set a date that we'd like to have resolved by and then consider having them source another day care facility if it's still continuing?![]()
