Constant screaming

[Momof4]

Problem with that is that with a daycare setting and with the nice weather, we spend our time outdoors so this isn't really suitable for me. Like I said, teething will pass its just coping through it but just so disruptive to me, the other dckids and to our day and I don't know how long I can handle this phase. At the same time, from the parents perspective, if I term this child, what do I really expect the parents to do? Quit their job? Arghh, so lost on this one! There are literally times where I feel like contacting mom and telling her I'm done with this child because it gets that intense. Sad thing is, it's hard to form any type of relationship with a child who gets on your last nerve!!! Please help

Mambia, you do not have to worry about what the clients will do if you terminate them. You must have a clause in your contract that says either party has to give 2 weeks (for instance) notice for a termination. If you need to do it, then do it!

3 months is a very long time for newbie screaming and I've been there, trust me. Sometimes all of a sudden the child gets happy and other times it keeps getting worse. When you reach your breaking point you know it and you have to terminate. But you don't have to worry about the rest of the world. If the parents wanted to change caregivers do you honestly think they would consider anything except what is best for them?

It sounds coldhearted, but it's only business. You are there to take care of all of the children and I bet all the other children are as miserable as you are right now. I've been there also.
