Good morning!
I have posted previously on how Mondays tend to run in my daycare. Some days I don't mind having a lazier more laid back day. Today has been a total write off so far.
I have my own son who is 19 months and 3 other dck, 20 m, 18 m and 13 m.
Today all 3 arrived at opening 7am miserable, clingy, not wanting to eat and I ended up putting them all back to bed. It worked out I suppose because then I got to spend some one on one time with my own lilttle guy.
I got them all up at 8:30, I figured an hour and a half was enough and early enough to not interfere with nap. Nope... 2 out of 3 still crying, rubbing eyes and clingy not participating in anything. Back to bed those 2 went. I am so annoyed!
On days when the kiddos are extra tired I do say something to their parents at pick up about how we couldn't do art and crafts or go outside because "X" was so tired the whole group missed out... etc. Then the parent usually has an explanation of some sort, had a rough night, was up late, etc. You would think these parents would get it!
Does anyone else have this problem with kiddos being so overtired they have to go back to bed? What do you do or say?
Thanks in advance.
